David Brent Is Back

///
I wish I had billions of dollars at my fingertips so I could hire my favorite actors to reprise roles past for my personal benefit. I mean, the first one that pops to mind is of course taking a camping trip with Jack Twist... how much green do ya think I'd have to throw Jakey's way to get him, ahem, back in the saddle?

Point? I had a point? Oh right - seems Microsoft got Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant to reprise their characters from BBC's "The Office" and film some "faux training videos" for their Microsoft UK employees. Which are apparently online, if you click right here (ETA the link is now to a better spot to see them than I had up earlier).

I was excited about this when I started this post - "The Office" is one of the best shows ever - but now I'm just lost in my rodeo-riding daydream... carry on...

ETA Okay, these are fucking genius. I'm ten minutes in and he's already managed to praise Neslon Mandela for having gone straight and not re-offended, to compare Bill Gates to Osama Bin Laden, and to call Stephen Hawking "half man, half machine." I love you, Ricky Gervais.
