Also, yeah, called it:
Sacha Baron Cohen was always trash and always will be.
Remember when SBC uncovered a child trafficking ring and instead of going to the public with it, he promptly went to the FBI who proceeded to classify everything and take no action?
Wait what?

But he was so distressed he dropped the skit from his show. He was actually willing to sacrifice his content, or imho his art, because it's just that amazing. If that doesn't display his upstanding character I don't know what possibly could.
What a fucking piece of shit
I thought he was good... Borat always seemed to me to be an interesting way to unearth how banal and rampant racism and bigotry in America is. His IDF character in Who Is America I thought was there to highlight how psychotic Israeli Zionism is... Guess I was wrong. What other shitty things has he done?
Remember Borat's home town in Kazakhstan? It was a Roma village he conned and made a mockery of; they were justifiably upset. If I recall correctly, I believe he also traveled there with guards who treated the populace pretty harshly.
Holy shit, I thought that was staged and those people were actors! I feel really naive.
