I haven't even heard about it
Oh, yeah. Wait a minute. I did hear they thought it was too harsh. He recorded it before 9/11 and they didn't release it because it had material that was definitely not appropriate for what was going on at the time.
I've heard great things, but who knows thanks for the laughs.

Ricky Gervais is a fucking genius.
And if you never saw the original version of The Office, no offense to the American version, it's unbelievable.
I can't remember what the episode was about, but that one where he plays the guitar in the middle of the meeting is the most uncomfortable, hilarious fucking thing I've ever seen.
