Greetings pagans!!! As most people in my life know, The Rev is not into Hollywood, celebrities, or celebrity gossip in general. However, last night I saw something amazing and today I read something that made me want to post on the most appropriate website for this kind of idiocy.
Yesterday, after a plethora of football watching combined with a little Pastor John Hagee, I found myself about 6:45pm wondering what to watch on television. After scanning for a bit, I noticed the Golden Globe Awards were on and hesitantly, I decided to watch it at 7pm. It should be noted, I waited for the pre-show to be off as The Rev would never watch the freak parade they call the Red Carpet for even a second. Anyway, when the show opened, out comes the host, Ricky Gervais. After a short hello, this guy starts just ripping everyone from Charlie Sheen, to the Hollywood Scientologists and even the Hollywood Foreign Press, who hired him. His jokes were absolutely hilarious. Suddenly, I can't wait for him to show back up after the fake, overdressed, over makeuped "stars" presented and accepted their awards. Now I know who Gervais is as far as knowing he originally created The Office in Britain. I've never seen his version but have watched probably 10 episodes of the American version which I think is very well done. Other than that, I know he came out with a movie a year or two ago that flopped. Where has this guy been all my life? His wit and willingness to obliterate the talent sitting right in front of him was amazing. Everything I would say had I been the host, he said. Everything that these stars have dreamt in their nightmares, he said. This guy had all those pretencious, self indulgant, arrogant movie stars shaking in their dresses and tuxes saying to themselves "not me, please not me." I loved it and I am now a life long Ricky Gervais fan. I will follow his career from now until Hollywood blacklists him.
Now tonight I read that his jokes were not taken well, that he won't be invited back and that he "crossed the line." That's caca de toro!!! He was the only reason I watched and I'm sure there were many more people who felt the same. I'm reading he made Johnny Depp mad, the HFPA mad and that they had no idea about most of his jokes. It really pisses me off that these people are so full of themselves that there has actually been this type of reaction to the genius of his jokes. If I want to see ass kissing, tea bagging, non-deserved pandering to a celebrity, I'll watch friggin Jay Leno or David Letterman. One of those guys would tell Depp that Cry Baby was the best movie they had ever seen. This further proves my point that everyone in Hollywood is a friggin idiot and that anyone who looks up to them, spends anytime having conversations about them (other than The Rev's post of course) or teaches their children to want to be like them, is a pinhead idiot also!!!
In closing, bravo Ricky! Well done. You probably don't care, but you've made a fan for life and that's saying a lot. If you knew The Rev, you'd know outside Jesus, my family and some of my close friends, I don't have much use for the ignorant people of this world. To the NFPA, do yourselves a favor and invite this guy back and stop pandering to the jackasses in Hollywood. Those dopes will show up no matter what to have their pictures taken and listen to you and all the other idiots scream, cry and tell them how fabulous they are. This type of hypocracy makes me sick and I'll stop there before I start cursing!!!!! Oh what the hell, you pretentious fuckers!!!

You DO realize Ricky is a very outspoken athiest?
At the end of the show as they zoomed out he thanked god for being an athiest.
Oh, and quit speaking in the third person.
You've got me worrying about you, more than usual.
I don't dislike people based on their beliefs or lack there of. If I did, I wouldn't like most people as Christians in the truest sense of the word are few and far between nowadays. I simply pass on the Gospel hoping each day something clicks and someone actually read the book they claim is hogwash, but rings true everyday. Even though they believe anything a scientist or professor tells them as long as it sounds intellectual enough. Anyway, I didn't know he was atheist, I didn't see that part of the show as I turned off as soon as they said best picture and it doesn't change my opinion of him. The dude is funny. And to your third person comment, The Rev is out! Heh heh!
