Ricky Gervais Visits Africa For Comic Relief
posted by Ana Samways at 2:56 pmThe Sunday Mirror said this clip was a highlight of the Comic Relief effort this year. “Ricky Gervais’s pretend tears in faked a report from Kenya while whispering to his Extras chum Stephen Merchant: “Have you got a product you want to plug?” Also starring Live 8 kings Bono and Bob Geldof, Gervais’s spoof was so uncomfortably accurate it undermined all the real moist-eyed Third World reports.”

So true so true… when you consider that “poverty relief” usually consists of lining the pockets of corrupt officials in whatever country happens to be flavour of the month…

Poverty relief is a big business- having done security work for the UNHCR in Sierra Leone I can attest to that.
