Go Ricky, take the plunge and go vegan! You’ll feel better (physically and spiritually) and your fans will support you… obviously!

Its a well known fact that people in Africa walk long distances to get water ONLY when the cameras and westerners are looking.
All other times they jump in the truck and bring in bottles of the stuff.
Its a cheap trick to get more cash, everyone knows theyre frivolous with thier money, most are heavy gamblers and as we know, gambling is a mugs game.
Many goats are gambled, some are even used for the famous “mbuzi mkuto” or goat running. An ancient African goat race where locals gamble heavily on the outcome.

I have always assumed that nobody is actually getting the money you donated, going out and buying a cow and giving it to an african family…. Like ricky said, its a clever way of distributing wealth.

Providing cows is just one of the way your donated money gets spent all based on regenerating the areas in need. When you sponsor a child for a dollar a day, their not just giving some sick african kid cash….

Ricky obviously googles himself about 50 times a day. If you follow his blogs and his website he is constantly referencing websites/articles and news about himself. The more absurd and derogatory the opinions expressed the more he seems to enjoy it. Everyone prior is spot on with the comments about Karl first making this comment and the amazing thing is he was actually serious. The little round headed mank actually thought they would send a goat across. He also states that animals who are slaughtered for food, ie. chickens should not be treated especially well as they would be sad when they know they are up for the chopping block, he thinks they would be more pleased to be turned into human’s food if they had a crumby life. Again Karl may think this is true, but its only because he’s a simpleton – who means well but just cant get his little brain to kick into gear. All in all there are in it for the laughs and that they do very very well.

This sounds familiar! Actually, Karl Pilkington said that on the 1st of the “Ricky Gervais Show” Audiobook and Ricky laughed hysterically at him!!!
