I guess I’ll just say it;
I don’t get it. I think I remeber hearing that Tom Sawyer had stuff to do with his childhood.
Sorry, haven’t bothered to read the last four pages. But, just so you all know, I read online somewhere it might have been staged.
I know it was revealed staged… if I’m being ‘wooshed’?
FWIW, I don’t think the guy’s funny either, I find him incredibly stupid. (Although I do think this was pretty amusing)
Contrapuntal, I still don’t find this sort of thing SEXUAL ASSAULT.
If I woke up to some stranger with his ass in my face, naturally I’d shove the moron off of me. I still don’t see that as being assault on either part, though. (I’d wonder what the guy’s problem was, and I’d be annoyed, but I wouldn’t feel violated. Grossed out, maybe – well, depending on who it was… ;))
Come on, let’s get some perspective here. (As I said, I could see some of the males in my family doing this sort of thing to one another)
You’re pointing out the fact that his comedy is carefully planned as if you’ve discovered some grand conspiracy or you’re pulling the curtain back on the Wizard of Oz.
In related news: Robin Williams doesn’t really think of all that stuff while he’s standing on stage and David Copperfield can’t really fly.
Ah, I see, 
I meant to say; “more ‘smoke and mirrors’ than his FANS realize.” However I left out the word ‘fans’, if that helps at all. Not implying that others here don’t assume this, now after the reveal. I can see where it would read that way; the “I think…” part. I guess I was stating the obvious… but reading this thread made me think of the people that DID think it was real, which made me recall the Letterman thing. Which I found on Youtube if anyone’s interested in seeing;
Actually memory must not have served me right, because that clip doesn’t throw up any red flags.
I also think I remember a Doper revealing that someone he or she knew was in the elevator scene in the Borat movie, (where he’s standing in the elevator naked with others in it).
If that’s sexual assault, then so is Greco-Roman wrestling.
In both instances, all paticipants are consenting. And in both instances, maybe one of them doesn’t expect to get some balls shoved near his face - but it was always going to be a possibility. 
Greco is above the waist only. You’re thinking of freestyle. Why yes, I am a combat sports nerd, why do you ask?
What’s that sticking up between his cheeks then? Rectal prolapse? (Since this was aired on TV, I can’t imagine I need to break the link. If I do, I’m sorry!)
And for comparison, this is the copy MTV put on their website, Photoshopped. MTV’s version.
Isn’t he wearing a thong? I can’t speak for anyone else, but my balls are darker than the rest of my skin, and I guess I always just thought that was the norm.
Whoops - my bad! Ignorance given the smackdown, reversal, escape and…
exposure? :eek:
I ask though: if those aren’t his balls, what is it? I guess it might be his flesh colored thong covered balls smushed up there- but was he wearing a flesh colored thong?
Edit to ad: The thong was silver.
It’s gotta be a flesh colored thong. It’s lighter than his butt-cheeks, not textured at all, and I dunno about his grooming habits but just as a data point, not hairy.
Looks like a thong to me. Doesn’t look like balls.
From the second picture, that’s clearly a shadow, not a protrusion.
And I’d like to commend Mr. Cohen for his dedication to this character - as we learned in Borat, he’s a pretty hairy guy. He’s undergone a tremendous amount of manscaping for this gig.
It was a thong. There were no exposed genitalia. Give it up. Calling it a “sexual assault” is asinine.
Em confirms that everything was planned:
Yay, I called it in post #8.
You win a teabagging from Sascha Baron Cohen.
