Why does MSM or even not so MSM making such a big deal out of what they think is supposed messages that are being sent subliminally to viewers. My Gosh even Transformers II can't escape this nonsense what with cars that talk Ghetto.
It's a movie, it's for entertainment, Boraks a comic, he's nuts, he's for show..he's not running for Governor of Alaska nor is he attempting to send messages or represent any group. He's outrageous and his ploy worked because you wrote a column and now 10,000 more will go see his movie and plunk stimulus money down and make Borak richer.
Please..next you'll be saying he has set back the Gay cause 5 years...
This stupid *unt would not have a chance were he called Sacha Baron Smith.
The only reason he gets publicity, it's because he's a Jew.
OMG, Israel is just a military base for the US.
Such horror.
growls a lot. You should come to Black Sea and we could have fun as American sailors did last year when they came to see Georgia. We have caviare too from Caspian Sea - reely scumptious as my Australian language teacher, Daphne says when we have orgy. She also say "fair dinkum" a lot. She's mighty fine woman and we have jolly good time. Your president Obamma was here too (in Moscow I mean) but I don't think he had jolly good fun. He might have some in Italy with that Casanova, Mr. Berlusconi, who have great sense of fun. I was looking at pictures of Italian Minister of Equal Opportunities, She is babe. I must put tail on her as I'd like to listen to phone calls. Mr. Berlusconi is very humerus and Mr. Cohen should study him. He eats caviare too and Daphne has luvley poem about caviare which I hope you to enjoy: Caviare comes from the virgin sturgeon, the virgin sturgeon's a verry fine fish, the virgin sturgeon needs no urgin' and that's why caviare's a verry rare dish". Daphne is hoot and cannot stand wowsers but is fair game for lotta fun.
Some people are verry sour and Mr. Cohen should be not so unkind. That bleaching of orifice put them in awful bad mood. Looking at Internet gives mucho laughs. I'm learning Spanish too from Esmeralda (muy guapa!) as I go to see California reel soon.
did you know that for a I-phone you can get a baby in Africa!
The bigger point is missed here, and it's not really sexual. Baron Cohen has taken a cue from Progressives, that it's OK to think your political opponents are a joke, and has taken it one step further, he belongs to that class of Englishmen, be they Labour or Tory, that believes America and all Americans are a joke, including Progressives. The joke's not only on Appalachia's hillbillies but also on African Americans and New York's white Brahmins. It's the opposite of "the importance of being earnest", Brits like Baron Cohen are smart and cynical, they really do hate us, regardless of our identity politics, because we're arrogant enough to think foreigners really have the free time to try to figure out what Americans political ideologies are. Progressives are the worst offenders, as they assume they are more "caring" and ironically more like the Europeans than the hillbillies, and earnestly expect the Europeans to care about their American special interests. The reality is Americans of all stripes are ignorant of most things outside our border, notwithstanding Hollywood's faux obsession with Darfur, and act like foreigners don't have their own issues to deal with, as we are so up to our eyebrows in our own local reality. We're all stupid Yanks to them, regardless of our ethnicity, color, creed, or political persuasion. Cohen's smart, he'll take all our green at the box office though and send it back to London. Cohen wins and Americans lose their money at the box office again, suuckers.
of being way off base, because I have not seen the film, isn't it too much to ask an extreme comedy to be socially and politically sensitive? Cohen's humor is like American Pie, or Harry and Kumar go to White Castle. It's crazy, wild, disgusting, jolting, and may induce belly laughs. From the trailers, I have not been expecting anything except over-the-top, outrageous behavior and raunchy jokes. I have some gay guy friends, and this movie couldn't possibly change my very good opinion of them. Of course, it might be relevant that I laughed at Borat, too.
I think my problem (and maybe the movie is very funny, I haven't seen it. I know I never cared for the Bruno segments on his tv show) is that he hasn't come up with a good plausible character. Let's face it, we've all been through enough seasons of Project Runway to know what wackey fashionistas are like...and I worked in a field where I delt with them. It seems like he created the character without knowing what those types are really like. It just misses the mark.
Bruno, you're no Austin Scarlet.
calling for "Respeck"? Ali G. verry comical man but too clever for stoopid people. You have now put comedian Mr. Franken in Senate and he's not as good as Mr. Cohen. My Chinese friend, Mr. Nanki Piu Pu, always say Americans like comedians and elect them. I'm going to California in the fall with him to see much more. He's liar but brags China owns all of California now and that Mr. Schwarzanegger, being Austrian, don't know diddley-squat.
'This stupid *unt would not have a chance were he called Sacha Baron Smith.

I tell you a secret, but only if you keep it for yourself -
His name really is Sacha Baron von Schmid!
And he is just one of your best friends who plays and Arabic moron who plays a Kasak moron who plays an Austrian moron who plays a jewish moron!
(and how did you know?!!)
I submit that if a Kristen Chenoweth concert turned into a monster truck rally, no one would leave.
