This is America
 
Has this series started on US television yet?

Is this the one?
THIS IS AMERICA & THE WORLD with Dennis Wholey
If so, PBS carries it here.

Sorry I was laughing so much after the second episode that I couldn't remember the title properly. Right wing gun toters deservedly making absolute fools of themselves.

There is a great photo-documentary website of who America is.

http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/

I don't really like TV show documentaries, I always feel some cutting is going on to clip things wrong.

I much prefer the depth of getting to drink in a good photo instead of immediately on to the next clip.

Yeah, she's got those crazy eyes I love but know enough to stay away from.

Well, that's going cause conversation. Sarah Palin is very angry with Cohen and (US) Georgia representative Jason Spencer has resigned after his appearance.

"Other duped "guests" include former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin and former US vice-president Dick Cheney.

Mrs Palin pre-empted the airing saying on Facebook: "I join a long list of American public personalities who have fallen victim to the evil, exploitive, sick 'humour' of the British 'comedian' Sacha Baron Cohen, enabled and sponsored by CBS/Showtime."

Mr Cheney apparently agrees to autograph a "waterboard kit". "


None of this is very funny at all.

From that article.

Ha, ha, hahaha.

My reference to People of Wal-Mart is not that far off.

"If you want to win, you show some skin," Baron Cohen, disguised as an anti-terrorism expert, had urged him.

Tervuren 07-25-2018 07:03 PM

Ah man, based on that article this might actually be worth watching.

However also it would appear given the focus of the content that this should thread should have been made in our section for polite political discussion.

I am sure this will not make it into his show.

Your Borat!! He runs out of the store. Even has surveillance footage to prove it.

I am indifferent about his humor. I liked the Dictator, I thought Borat was funny.

Bruno was a little too much and I am not entirely sure about this one mostly because it furthers the divide in our country. It is honestly the last thing we need right now.

Plus I heard he was posing as a disable war vet, which I thought was kind of distasteful.

I made a thread about his fake web site that has an Info Wars look to it, I felt he should have opened up a comments section, he would have harvested some gold there.

Pretty funny to see this here on a day most liberals shat their pants over an old post they perceived as political and conservative...yet they didn't say a word about this one.

Thanks. Dissapointed. Too long and drawn out. And Clearly the old dude is in on it.

I think it's like Jay Walking (Jay Leno)... where those interviewed know that they need to ham up the stupid if they want to make the cut.

HardDrive 07-25-2018 08:24 PM

I support Cohen's efforts. As he belittles the common people of middle American, his elitist carnival pushes more and more people into the camp of conservatism.

You are his target audience. --People so butt hurt that they will look past the labored 'humor' and be trilled by the political content. ..which is clearly manufactured.

Outrage - thar's munnee in them thar hillz.

Oh wait, you're a Brit.

Yeah, guns pushed back your forefathers from this land and UK butt-hurt over guns remains.

Hey, how's that knife violence doing in the UK? Still out of control? ...Brit knife totters...

It’s funny the same way McDonald’s is delicious when you’re mildly hungry.

manbridge 74 07-25-2018 08:49 PM

Hmm, recycled Punked show stuff? It illustrates the current lack of creativity that is the American entertainment industry.
