Date: 2022-05-25 01:54 pm (UTC)Before Ricky Gervais latest bigotry
several years ago
he made a joke mocking people who had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
calling it "the I can't be bothered to go to work disease".
Given how many people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
need a wheelchair to leave the house;
and/or are housebound;
and/or are bedbound,
this made a lot of people [including me] very angry...
