However as the people in question can not actually voice their opinion we will never know whether it is offensive to them or not.
at the end of the day i have already said that i don't particularly agree with it but there are two sides to every coin. and there are some people that believe that all publicity is good publicity and there being controversial is guaranteed to get you noticed hence guaranteed publicity. i've just read the comments and personally i've heard a lot worse, although i still don't find him or his jokes/comments funny

OK i'll make this a bit simpler then!..My own Son is Brain injured...he find's Ricky Gervais and also Little Britain Parody's deeply offensive..in fact they have totally destroyed his confidence, because he now thinks everyone is laughing at him!..He feels confident enough in explaining that to me...but he would be frightened of meeting you because of that experience!
