What about the guy in the UK who put a Pug on youtube that gives the nazi salute when he says "seig heil", or "kill all jews"?
Obviously grossly offensive, but he's actually been convicted and is being jailed.
This is what Gervais is speaking out against right now - saying he should not be convicted for this.
Thoughts?
Interesting piece on this by a NZ Lawyer, with a NZ perspective i.e. could this happen here. I think he's bloody spot on.

He's obviously not a Nazi or an antisemite himself, and nobody would be dumb enough to be converted into one by watching the video. The conviction is grossly out of line, especially seeing that he's a joke character. Let's lock up Gilbert Gottfried next, eh?
Really good article by the way.
