Re: The Dictator - Sasha Baron Cohen's latest
How can it be a mockery of the Oscars when they do stupid shit like this during the show? Besides, considering the producers "warned" him against doing it, they didn't ban him, which they could have. Pretty damn amusing, and he gets to pimp his film, no matter how silly his stunts are. He showed up doing this, they let him, everyone wins.

I don't watch the Oscars but am a little indifferent on this... The Academy Awards from what I recall don't allow movies to be advertised during the show so why you would let someone dress up as a character to promote a movie that is not out yet is a little hypocritical to me.

Re: The Dictator - Sasha Baron Cohen's latest
You decided to follow me around and stick your nose in that banning kids from restaurants. It appeared you have some sort of internet fetish with following me around so I couldn't let that go unchallenged.
I get my porn off the internet like a normal person but, even if they loathe the content, only a fascist pig would support burning any book.
Besides porn does a service so guys can get rocks off and still cut the most disgusting, toxic, type of woman out of the intercourse equation.
You know the type right De...DT

I'd also make you live in a world consisting of one restaurant filled with children.

These softball entertainment personalities who lob tough questions like "Who designed your dress" are not journalists and seeing SBC dump ashes all over Seacrest was far and away the best thing not just of the night, but of the last three or four Oscar telecasts.

I'm pretty sure the Oscars is a 3 hr ad.
I dont watch this type of crap anymore, because Im sick of the pitty standing O's for blacks and fatties.

Re: The Dictator - Sasha Baron Cohen's latest
I was just saying that it's not the usual shit the Oscars do (which is why it was so great).
And DT...yeah vendetta's are a two way street but, just using this thread as an example, you've lashed out supporting boycotts of Cohen and called for burning of books you don't like.
I've posted the video and article on the incident that so many in this thread, myself included, thought was awesome.
Where do you think the consensus of the the general population lies?

The guy is funny. I am looking forward to The Dictator. I think it's going to be a bigger hit than Bruno.

It only did half of what Borat did, so some would consider it a disappointment. But, worldwide, it did over $100 million. His movies do better overseas than domestically. Go figure

Ask me why I would care where the consensus of the lowest common denominator lies.

Beyond that a morality of circumstance isn't much of a morality.
Burning books (or what distasteful thing you do or how you act) simply because you dislike an individual speaks to ones morality.
A morality you seem to throw away for petty dislike for someone. No matter how much I dislike you, even if I was in a position of authority over you, I would have maintained myself in a professional manour and not done anything to compromise my personal ethics.
Burning books and banning speech are dark things...even more so when it's done to spite one person. I suspect many of the horrors from our history as a species may have come from such small beginnings.

honestly, i don't mind SBC as an actor and kinda like him, but he does stupid promotional stuff like this that take me out of his graces. he was really good in his serious stuff like Sweeny Todd and Hugo and wish he could just let his work speak and not his antics.
