The Ricky Gervais Guide to Philosophy
An excerpt from the new Ricky Gervais audiobook where Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant attempt to explain philosophy through the medium of Karl Pilkington.
EDIT: This is available on iTunes apparently, if the sound compression is hurting your wimpy ears ;)

I really don't understand all the hatred for him
to be honest with you. Seems to me his is just a rather amusing man.

It does seem to be jealousy from a lot
of people in my opinion. He seemed to be extremely well liked when The Office came out, then he got succesful and suddenly he is a cunt.

It's a well known fact if you become successful at anything
you also become a cunt

Aye,
it is like how musicians become shit as soon as they become popular in the mainstream ;)

Some of the stuff he does is good ...
but he comes across as a sneery cunt who does need a slap ... IMO

Well I can kind of get where you are coming from,
but that is his schtick.

It can get pretty tiresome after a while
but in general I like him. Enjoying these new podcasts so far, although I don't think they'll ever Karl's top 'sausages in the toaster' story from ages ago.

Hatred's a strong word,
but personally, i just don't find him, or anything he's done, remotely funny.
Especially not The Office or Extras, and i even tried watching his stand-up, and that was dire too.

the audio compression on that hurts my ears
I'm sure it's probably funny but I had to turn it off
