Discomfort
Sacha Baron Cohen's comedy makes me nervous to the point of sweating. As most of you are aware, I'm not an uptight a-hole, but I had to turn off Borat after the turd in a baggie scene and I couldn't even entertain the notion of watching Bruno. Seeing regular people squirm and/or inadvertently expose themselves as morons is my worst nightmare, equal to being eaten alive by tarantulas or attending a Nickelback concert.
But before Bruno and Borat hit the big screen, Ali G was on on HBO chatting up politicians and asking them delightfully retarded questions. Now that I can watch.
I was going to recommend NPR's Terry Gross interview with Cohen, which was straight-up LOL (and Terry "loved" Bruno!)(wtf!), but the podcast has already disappeared into the internet ether. So unfair. Why did I even mention it?
Incidentally, Isla Fisher is married to Sacha Baron Cohen, and I want to be her BFF. I already have a BFF, so she couldn't be mine, but I would be hers. No problem.
She has the prettiest hair, doesn't she?
Oh! One last thing. For Frank, and the world:
BAM!
