Overall, i thought the movie was alright. My favorite part was when they were driving through the hood and he walks up to a bunch of african americans. The way he was trying to act like them and the way they were clownin him was too hilarious.

NFRs, I think you off target here. Have you ever watched Da Ali G Show on HBO? Sasha Cohen is all about uncomfortable humor and making fun of stereotypes. I don't always get the humor myself but it is clearly intended for a laugh.

Just to let everyone know, in case they didnt get it, the point of the movie WAS NOT to be a comedy. It was made to specifically show how weak and feeble the american public minds are, including those in the theater watching it. He says offensive things, and SHOWS how everyone laughs at it, and in some cases, even join in.
For what the movie was made to do, it was a great success.

However, like I stated, he created the movie to show how quickly people jump in the _________ (insert racist/sexist/antisemitic word here) pool.
For those who watch the show, remember the "throw the jews down the well song?" Sure it was funny, I mean, Im a jew, and almost fell out of my chair, but the point he was trying to show was that Americans still hate the jews, and since he was singing a song about it, they thought it was ok to sing along.
It was made to be funny, but it also had a powerful message. If you thought it sucked, well, thats your perogative.

Saw it last night and loved it. It was both hilarious and insightful into the mind sets of various people.
Now can some one clarify.. was the Pamela scene for real or was it acted?

Im very familiar with him and his show. My statement was made in generalities, and I certainly didnt mean to offend anyone here.

America hates the Jews? That is not an accurate statement...More like an exaggerated generalization...
Do you want proof? I can PM it to you (I dont want this thread to be moved to politics)
