Ricky Gervais found himself in a Twit-Storm after tweeting a comment about the hacked accounts of women celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence, who had nude photos of themselves leaked online. His tweet suggested that celebrities should all make it more difficult for hackers by not having private and intimate photos on their computers and phones in the first place.

Ricky deleted the tweet, but according to the Daily Beast, it had been retweeted over 1000 times before it was taken down. That’s when the outrage started coming in. He was bombarded with it. Then Ricky decided that he not only had to explain himself, but also jokes and free speech in general.

Here’s Ricky’s deleted joke on Twitter. One angry tweeter captured an image of it.

Ricky responded by leaking a photo of himself in a compromised and very sexy position.

After the complaints started flying in, Ricky felt the need to start tweeting an explanation of how comedy works.

Then Ricky’s tweets turned to free speech.

And of course, Hitler came up.
