This is the first I’m hearing that Biden has the hostages. It is pretty fucked up that he won’t let them go ngl
All locked in a room while he tells them stories like the first time he drove a Camero.
Sacha Baron-Cohen of all people did this?
You mean the celebrated comedian whose most famous schticks are the generic Muslim Middle Eastern dictator who is terrible in every way and the Central Asian anti-Semite who is sexually deranged and borderline uncivilized?
Why, it’s almost as if this was inverted and a Muslim man from the Middle East played a grossly stereotyped depiction of an Israeli Jew for cheap laughs that there would be an immense outcry against what clearly amounts to open bigotry and racist caricature…
To his Credit, SBC also played a grossly stereotyped Israeli for laughs as Elan Morad
I think there’s a discussion to be had about satirising the in-group vs satirising the out-group, especially when it comes to how privilege intersects with this stuff.
Obviously there’s the whole both-sidesism thing and also how equal opportunity bigotry primarily serves the interests of the dominant groups.
I think the main joke about Elan morrad isn’t how racist Israelis are though- but it’s certainly a part of the setup.
the joke is that Americans can be conned into insane Islamophobia because they worship the Israeli “security” apparatus.
He also played a very funny gay Austrian in Bruno but everyone forgets that.
Imagine if SBC had better politics and he used that character and his brand of irreverence to get some real mask off reactions about the current situation.
I mean wasn’t that the premise of “what is America?”
Never watched it though
Remember the end of the Chicago Seven when he did a revisionism stating that the USA system is the best and working within it is the only way to go?
Reminder he exploited and ridiculed deeply impoverished people in rural Romania while making Borat.
Mr Hamas your fired
Brb gonna write a strongly worded letter to the king of Jordan about the overcomplication of German tax law.
Mr. Will Smith, Chris Rock is at it again…
