    Say what you will, I usually find his movies extremely funny. These types of movies and characters have become so rare that it’s almost refreshing.

    That it pisses a lot of people off would not surprise me, but it’s the best marketing you can get for free.

      I mean, does anyone not know about borat? I think this sort of shit has always been a large part of his repertoire. I can’t say for sure if it’s intended to be bigoted or racist. Ali G is targeted at the chavs of Britain and london IIRC. Honestly I don’t think anyone is immune to the portrayals that he does. Whether or not they’re in good taste. Which yeah generally they’re not.
