There may be someone on this here Earth who has not heard of Piers Morgan, and what a blessing that must be.

A sentient sack of useless opinions, the British media "personality" was on Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday when an interesting thing happened. Australian comedian Jim Jefferies, he of the viral gun control rant, told Morgan to just "fuck off."

As Morgan tried to claim U.S. President Donald Trump's "Muslim travel ban" was not a "Muslim travel ban," Jefferies felt compelled to make some factual commentary: "You just like that you won The Apprentice and you have a famous friend, mate."

Jefferies should give a master class in the passive aggressive use of the word "mate," honestly.
