Ricky Gervais is right of course. Whether dirty Kid Rock or deranged Cardi B, none of these celebrities know more than the average citizen living through their struggles.
Nothing would be a bigger smack in the face and a wake-up call if WWIII begins or an economy collapses. Of course it would be too late at that point as the election would already be over, but people would look at each other and realize that their celebrity friends didn't know anything at all really.
I didn't think we could ever face the possibility of a war, WWII was all a horrible event in history we never had to live though. At least in the 1980s citizens were actually in fear of nuclear war, the chances are higher now than they were then but we have so many distractions and media doesn't amp up these dangers so no one seems to care.
A Ricky Gervais video showing the comedian savagely mocking the way celebrities endorse politicians from earlier this year is finding a new audience now as the 2024 U.S. presidential election draws near.
Next week, Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris will face off against Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump in the election to determine who will take office in 2025. In July, current President Joe Biden announced he wouldn't seek reelection.
Consequently, many celebrities of late have offered their candidate endorsement in the weeks leading up to the election. That includes major endorsements from NBA superstar LeBron James, veteran pop star Madonna and even several Avengers stars.
In Gervais' viral video, captured while he's soaking in the bathtub, the comedian delivers in a not-so-subtle deadpan, "Hi guys, Ricky G. here, wellness and beauty influencer. As a celebrity, I know all about stuff like science and politics. So trust me when I tell you who you should vote for."
He adds, further driving up the irony, "If you don't vote the right way, that's like a hate crime. And it makes me sad and angry, and I'll leave the country. And you don't want that."
Gervais' political critique, first shared in June, echoes his previous takedowns of Hollywood personalities during events like the Golden Globes, where he has criticized celebrities for lecturing the public despite appearing out of touch with ordinary people.
