Not only were they lined up… She was sitting on a throne with a BREAST pump on. I assume she isn’t number 1 prostitute but number 1 CHEESE factory.
I was thinking specifically about the remarks concerning slavery.
I missed the breast pump! So, why were they lined up with flowers and such?
The kicker in this scene, for me, was when the guy at the head of the table (screen right) felt he had to immediately leave the house as soon as the black woman entered the room.
This was the church pastor, by the way.
That such a crass bigot is acting as a spritual leader to a congregation is just so frickin’ unbelievable.
Big fan of Borat and Ali G. Last week I introduced my best friend to Cohen’s work, and he loved it. He just saw the movie, and emailed me that he LITERALLY injured himself laughing - pulled an abdomenal muscle about 15 minutes in. My proudest moment!

Oh no! Oh, she’s…she’s laying a Jew egg! Quick, smash it before it hatches! 
Oh please, he left when a woman who was clearly a prostitute showed up, where there was already a camera crew and events were spiraling out of normalcy.
Oh. I don’t think anyone thought they were serious about that.
Sacha Cohen is not a genius. His characters are pretty one-dimensional, and kinda the same (they’re all dumb and use bad English). The reality-TV aspect of his comedy is a crutch. The Ali G movie reveals his inability to survive on talent alone, when there isn’t a car-wreck quality to stare at. The hype by movie critics is ridiculous, but movie critics epitomize slightly educated people who like to feel smarter than everyone else, which is Cohen’s target audience. We’re supposed to think he’s “really smart” underneath the stupidity because he has a fucking Bachelor’s degree? Give me a break. It’s nothing but the same cringe comedy we’ve been bombarded with in different forms for the last ten years, and it’s been done better by the crew behind movies like “Best in Show,” and by the original BBC “The Office.” If it’s somehow a stroke of genius to reveal that the American South is - gasp! - homophobic, antisemetic, and racist, I just have to wonder how cloistered a life you yankees lead that it’s shocking to walk into a theater and find it out all over again. And doesn’t it seem like every comedy these days is the same regurgitated nonsense and it’s always described as “refreshingly politically incorrect”? Where are all the politically correct comedies they are supposing freshening the air from? Give me a break.
Yeah, well that’s just, like…your opinion, man.
He is a pretty good figure skater though. I’ll give you that. To win the silver medal under the guise of a teenage girl was pretty spectacular acting, too.
Did you see the movie?
Wow.
That was something.
“We support your war of terror!” (crowd cheers)
Children, bash the Jew egg before it can hatch!
I just wanted to hold Pamela in my arms… and make romance explosion on her stomach.
People worship celebrities. I can’t figure it out myself, but it seems reasonable that any sort of celebrity could throw a signing and get people to show.
Well, they did make reference to a book she wrote (did she actually write a book in real life) that Borat laughed at, naturally…
If it was staged, then how did they shape shift into cockroaches?! There’s the flaw in your logic…
No doubt.
Er, “did she actually write a book in real life?” was meant to be a question, not saying she did.
How about the the guy at the rodeo that thought all homosexuals should be put in prison? :mad:
“May George W. Bush drink the blood of every man, woman and child in Iraq!”

As I think I’ve said, I enjoyed the movie, but with an 84-minute running time it seems like I had already seen a large amount what with previews and appearances on Letterman and the Daily Show. I don’t think I’ll watch it again but it was hilarious for one viewing.
I liked the movie.
I’ve seen all the HBO shows, so there was an element of “seen it” for me.
The Pam Anderson bit HAD to be staged. You just can’t assault someone like that. I’m sure it was a real signing, but they must have worked out the gag. I had the feeling the Jewish innkeepers thing was staged, too.
It was funny when he was throwing money to the cockroaches.
Also, the kids & the bear had to be staged.
I’m keeping the goddamned frisbee too, you little snot.
