I kind of agree with the premise, but he failed to mention Colbert's roast to Bush, <BR/><BR/>http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-869183917758574879, <BR/><BR/>the ultimate in prankster comedy that will never be equalled by Sasha Baron Cohen or anyone else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32576041.post-1163833309901409772006-11-17T23:01:00.000-08:002006-11-17T23:01:00.000-08:00Peter Sellers + lots of water = BoratPeter Sellers + lots of water = BoratOgnir Rratshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516249230939063032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32576041.post-1163802583682204812006-11-17T14:29:00.000-08:002006-11-17T14:29:00.000-08:00What I've seen of Tom Green's original no-budget O...What I've seen of Tom Green's original no-budget Ottawa cable-access show looks hilarious. Absurdist humour that is %100 free of any deeper subtext, granted, and thus the kind of stuff that has a limited lifespan, and that really only works as, say, a no-budget Ottawa cable-access show. Inject any amount of money or hype into something (or someone) like that and it (he) dies instantly. Or at least its/his charm does.<BR/><BR/>I'm actually looking forward to seeing Borat. I just wanted to be contrary. Plus the "deeper cultural relevance of Borat" articles need to go away for a while. At least until the inevitable Bruno movie comes out.nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10978764989360943906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32576041.post-1163801140840463002006-11-17T14:05:00.000-08:002006-11-17T14:05:00.000-08:00A GLOBE article this week suggested Borat was a co...A GLOBE article this week suggested Borat was a combination of Charlie Chaplin and Chris Rock.

To start with, Borat's funny.Steven W. Beattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05269303081084442197noreply@blogger.com
