Ricky Gervais ROCKS the Golden Globes – It seems today that Hollywood is in an uproar over Ricky Gervais’ comedic performance last night at the 2011 Golden Globes. Honestly last night’s Golden Globes was one of the best ever! Let’s be honest again. The Golden Globes should be adamantly thanking Ricky right now. Nobody really watches the Golden Globes in the States. Ricky has put the Globes on the map with an amazing edgy and provocative performance.

What did Ricky really do? Why/how did he piss the Hollywood Elite’s off? He touched the untouchables and he mixed up the game! Bravo! He accomplished with brilliant precision what all the great comedians have done before him; he mixed things up and made you think. He crawled under your shield, he entered your safety zone and made you laugh!

In reality this speaks to a bigger problem. America has become so politically correct and such a litigious society that you really have to have balls to speak your mind today. Dare you say anything provocative and you will savagely attacked by numerous “special interest” groups. Frankly, it’s pretty lame and totally Un-American. That’s one of the great things about the internet and social media, especially Twitter. Branch out, speak your mind and stir the hearts and souls of Men and Women alike.

From the Luminous ROC marketing/social media perspective Ricky Gervais smoothly and effectively accomplished what the Golden Globes have always desired; he invigorated (a dead audience) and performed life saving CPR to their market share. Also Ricky Gervais did exactly as he predicted to “Do a proper job this time.” Today the hipsters in Social Media and Twitter are ablaze at how impressed, brilliant and happy they are with Ricky’s performance. Executives should take note. Take a look at what some of the top tweets are saying on Twitter:

While many rumors are floating around that Ricky Gervais may never host the Golden Globes again Christian Bale commented that “Ricky Gervais is a genius.”

The 2011 Golden Globes were fantastic! The most hilarious and entertaining Globes ever! Utterly brilliant!

Ricky Gervais wins the best comedic performance of 2011 for his brilliant performance at the 2011 Golden Globes. Thank Ricky Gervais! You ROCK!
