I would only have done a ticker effort though, and I had gone for fatwa(t) rather than fattwat. Unfortunately No one of size made any controversial Islamic statements - this is a much better use of the idea. Stars. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=48081#post-138322 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 05:45:50 +0000 Yikes 138322@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Love the "fattwat" concept. And some brill lines in this ("bigger than Jesus. Quite literally"). Though I think editing it down a little might be an idea.</p> <p>5* </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=48081#post-138288 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 20:33:49 +0000 ramblesid 138288@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I haven't read or voted on your pathetic little post, sad man. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=48081#post-138285 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 20:21:39 +0000 Golgo13 138285@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Not a slavish fan of Ricky gervais, but I prefer him to the Catholic Church. </p> <p>Gervais did The Office.

In fact I am God, I have 3,000,000 followers who listen to my every word, wait for a sign from me, like what I like, and I have become bigger than Jesus. Quite literally."</p> <p>That comment led to several organized burnings of Gervais' self published book "I am Ricky Gervais. I Hate Black People And People Who Believe In God" in US cities predominantly in the bible belt area of the deep south and Wolverhampton.</p> <p>Gervais, who recently likened himself to Christ, when he stated: "I am like Jesus in a way. He had those 5 fishes and loaves remember? He didn't have much.....but he made it go a long way. I am the same. I don't have much.....but I am certainly making it go a long long way."</p> <p>The non violent "Fattwat" calls on Catholics across the world to hit Gervais where it hurts....his palate.....and it encourages food industry workers to boycott serving the greedy comic in restaurants, fast food outlets and cake shops.</p> <p>"Quite simply we will hit this "funny man" where it hurts most - his belly. He may have fooled his fans that he no longer gauges on pastries and fried food but we know that is a lie. His dramatic weight loss has not curtailed his appetite nor his gluttony, he is taking diet pills, it is just another Gervais lie." announced the Vatican.</p> <p>Gervais though, remains unfazed by the "Fattwat", announcing in a tweet to his followers, to who he now refers to as his disciples "I see the Pope is trying to cut off my access to food. Won't happen. I spend thousands on meals and food, because I am richer than all of you, I would gladly pay twenty quid for a Big Mac if I had to. No problem when your (sic) me, Ricky Gervais. It won't stop me getting "Extras""</p> <p>The gloating tweet, common for Gervais who often tweets about his possession, first class lifestyle, hatred of children and celebrity chums was "retweeted" 9689 times by his deluded twitter followers, or as the Catholic church is calling them......sheep. </p>
