To me nothing is less entertaining than this sort of "comedy" from Cohen or the Jerky Boys where you take ordinary working people and you viciously and sadistically f*** with them for the enjoyment of the audience.

Celebrity-prank shows like Punk'd are one thing, but watching millionaires ridicule actual working people making $30K a year is about as funny as leukemia.

Come on. It IS funny. His satirical over the top style does in fact lampoon all kinds of cultural stereotypes. If we can't laugh at ourselves...who can we laugh at??

Borat is hilarious, and so is Ali G. I love how he ridicules the lame rap subculture that champions drugs, under-achieving and a total lack of morals.

Well said, this is the decadence of the Hollyweird elite, pathetic

Agreed. We need to get together and play a mean-spirited, hellacious, clever trick on Sasha.

I know! Let's spike his morning coffee with knockout drops and then take him to a place that's very hot and made to look and smell like what hell is thought to be. We'll try and convince him he's dead and in hell--won't that be great?

I'm sure a lot of people would pay to see him punk'd...

"actual working people"

Just saw Borat last night. He does interview/make fun of a bunch of squinchy-faced feminists too.
