Not a fan but I'm with him on this one

Comic Ricky Gervais was unrepentant today after drawing criticism for his use of what many have seen as an offensive word used to mock people with disabilities.

And the offensive word?

Fellow comedians and disability groups have spoken out after Gervais repeatedly used the word "mong" in online messages to fans.

I didn't even know the word mong had anything to do with our lesser abled brethren, I always thought it referred to dirty people like tree huggers and stuff. 'Monging' has always meant lazing about in your pyjamas to me.

Well, now I've been educated thanks to the PC brigade.

And today he laughed off the storm by posting a message on Twitter saying: "The police just came round and confiscated all my awards - gutted."

I've never been particularly interested in any of Ricky Gervais' work or found him funny, however anyone who refuses to bow down the the humourless drones in the political correctness industry is alright by me.
