Only Gervais could get away with a politically incorrect joke like this: (paraphrase)
I saw that gay rally to reduce homosexual consent to 16. All those people protesting - people power. The Government had to give way. Didn't see any 16 year old boys there though. Just 40 year old men.The 16 yr olds were probably doing their homework ,or watching the rally on TV and thinking; 'God,we're buggered!'
In the ch 4 celebration of his work last night we also saw him taking the royal piss out of charity aid on TV in a quite merciless way. I haven't quite worked out what he does or how he gets away with it but it does demonstrate how you can get a point across with humour much more effectively sometimes than normal political discourse. It disarmingly gets under the radar and scores a direct hit.
