Ricky Gervais Is A Threat to Elmo, Homeland Security!
By John Aloysius Farrell, Thomas Jefferson Street blog
The portly French Canadian comic, Ricky Gervais, continues his assault on American institutions.
In company with his comedic consort, the English actress Kate Winslett, Gervais has made a laughing stock of the Academy Awards.
Inexplicably—or perhaps not!—the producers of American public television have now chosen to invite this cynical foreigner to appear as a guest on Sesame Street, the long-running children's "educational" program.
One of my researchers has unearthed the accompanying clip from the filming of the show, in which Gervais makes jokes about the Holocaust, and profane sexual practices, and repeatedly paws at a pajama'd Elmo.
Janet Napolitano, the secretary of homeland defense, would be wise to pull this comic's visa.

Is French Canadian
Maybe you "idiots" should realize that as some have already mentioned his father IS FRENCH CANADIAN, which makes him HALF French Canadian. Get your facts right before insulting the writer
Credibility Lacking
Ricky Gervais is not French Canadian
Though I have never read from this website/heard of you, I am going to assume that I can safely conclude that there is nothing of value on this website for me to read if they are going to print nonsense like this
You can't dissemble xenophobia with spurious patriotism
It was unrelated to the show (the quotations around educational were unecessary and superfluous to your original argument)
Judging by your ample jowls, his portliness is nothing for you to be insulted by
Double take
Is this a Monty Python character writing for the usnwr? You have to work to be this nuts don't you?
