Sacha Baron Cohen Gives The Academy The Finger

Earlier this week, actor Sacha Baron Cohen was warned by the Academy that he would not be allowed to stage a publicity stunt for his latest movie, “The Dictator,” at the Oscars.
Seemed like a good idea at the time.

As if Israel didn’t have enough to deal with. Now they’ve got a fictional Middle East dictator who hates Israel. I hope this Sacha Baron Cohen vehicle, “The Dictator,” has a political point to make rather than being just another silly (but funny) romp.
Sacha Baron Cohen specializes in buffoonery. He once told a magazine that no character in comedy gets more laughs from more people than an idiot. Over the course of my life, I have observed an overabundance of idiots in charge of countries and sometimes their subdivisions, so yes, any comedy about a dictator is bound to be political, especially when there are no checks and balances against the great leader’s follies.
But all my liberal friends assure me Jews control Hollywood. So clearly there’s a global plot behind the plot behind the plot behind the plot.
will this film be shown in Israel? I cant wait but if its possible without a big ballagan of some sort happening.
Can. Not. Wait!
This looks so awesome. Borat was cool, but overrated. Bruno I was too scared to see. This seems like itll be awesome.
