Lately, I’ve been noticing that talking shit about Sacha Baron Cohen is becoming a new trend:
- The Hollywood Reporter claims that Cohen can’t get his accent straight. He keeps changing "from an unconvincing Austrian to his own British and even to a whisper of Borat himself."
- Variety calls the "sourness and ill will triggered by the picture’s cumulative misanthropy" a turn-off.
- Our own Dreidel Hustler insists that Cohen has reduced his once sharp material to one "point and laugh at the funny naked foreigner" joke.
- Gawker reports that some magazine newstands place Bar Refaeli’s naked Esquire issue front and center, but are treating Bruno’s July’s GQ cover like porn, even though you can’t see his penis.
- Landline TV produced a video about how annoying people who quote Cohen characters are (which I have to admit is kinda true) and set up a Homeland Security task force to deal with the problem.
- New York Magazine‘s website complains that Cohen’s media campaign was filled with recycled jokes.
Indeed, it seems that the mainstream position to take is that Cohen is too mainstream. Well, you’re all a bunch of whining ungrateful pricks! Cohen literally puts his life on the line in ways that most active duty soldiers never will (see below video), to entertain you, and all you can do bitch like spoiled children.
Shut up, go pay your 12 dollars to see Brüno and like it!
Man, I hope he gets naked and runs around in public with a funny foreign accent again. That was so funny. Awesome post, Oliver!
hey Landline…… We need a Guantanemo to deal with those annoying people who quote Seinfeld characters.
And I really like it when he wears a sleeveless tshirt and says stuff like “Vass-oopp!?” It’s so funny.

No, Sacha Baron Cohen really is a douche bag. As a Peace Corps Volunteer who served in Central Asia, I can’t tell you how uncomfortable watching Borat with Central Asians really was. If there’s beef between the Central Asians and the Jews, I can promise you that it isn’t the Central Asians who started it. Jews have been living their peacefully for thousands of years (in fact the city that I was stationed in had Jews that had been there for so long that the local folklore said they were one of the lost tribes of Israel; they also had a synagogue built by Czar Nicholas II, the last Romanov Czar). There was also a Central Asian Jewish Empire, the Khazar Empire, that existed for several centuries during the Middle Ages, and which at the zenith of it’s power was viewed as the protector of ALL Jews, including those in Palestine. But none of that really mattered with Sacha Douche Cohen playing a Kazakh singing “Throw the Jew down the well.” Bruno bombed and I’m so fucking happy it did. The Jews using their paranoid victimhood to lob manure at other cultures that have done them no wrong really does need to stop (as does Hollywood’s pillaging of black culture through gangsta rap; it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to look at the Jim Crow laws of the Old South, the Apartheid regime in South Africa, and the current racial segregation being perpetuated against Ethiopian Jews in Israel, to figure out whose Holy Scriptures give religious justification for such regimes. Get your fucking shit together and join the rest of us in the 21st century.)
