Ricky Gervais broke with the current wave of British patriotism and spoke out against the hype surrounding the royal wedding. Gervais is often controversial with his comedy, but it seems that he may have stepped too far for some of his fans. Gervais spoke his mind on his own blog, first he joked about Harry;
“I sent Prince Harry a text today offering to gag up his best man speech. (True.)”, Gervais wrote. “He said he was fine. Hmmm? If I hear he’s done any holocaust or famine s–t I will sue obviously. I also reminded him it wasn’t fancy dress.”
But it was his next comments that seem to be causing a real stir;
“On a serious note; I really like Harry,” Gervais went on. “I like William too and really wish the happy couple all the best, as I would anyone on their wedding day. But…really. Enough already. Who are these f–king mongs from all over the world camping out for f–king days to get a 30 second glimpse of two people from 30 yards away? Christ. Still, mustn’t grumble. I suppose everyone gets a day off.”
Although he didn’t leave himself out of the equation, Gervais certainly knows how to make fun of himself too;
“Everybody was saying that David Beckham has started to look like me,” Gervais said. “I was flattered until I realized that my name was somehow being used as an insult. (F–k it. I’m still taking it as a compliment.)”
