I enjoyed (and agreed with) this piece by Lindy West, for Jezebel:

“I’m mad at Ricky Gervais for a lot of things: for the monstrously dehumanizing way he talks about fat people; for lending his voice to the myopic throng railing against “political correctness”; and, most recently, for implying that Jennifer Lawrence—along with countless other women—is complicit in her own sexual victimization, because she chose to take photos of her body in the (apparently illusory) privacy of home.

But none of his stances are remarkable—I hear them daily from barely pubescent boys on Twitter. More than anything, I’m mad at Ricky Gervais for taking Ricky Gervais away from me.”

I love the Office, and the Karl Pilkington podcasts, and Extras was really OK, but Gervais himself has turned into a quite awful person.
