    my two p:

    the office was fantastic fucking comedy for precisely one episode. unfortunately, it's not a terribly sustainable form of humour, this 'cringe' thing (perhaps i feel this way because americans have no shame).

    i was shocked to see politics last week and discover that ricky gervais is actually a brilliant stand-up act. far more intelligent and striking than seinfeld. perhaps more along the lines of a hicks figure. influences aside, his genius has been wasted on the office. i hope it's merely a springboard into something that reflects his wit much more appropriately.
