TV HBO ALERT The Ali G Show. Channel 502 He is talking

[frankly_fedup2]

to preachers about sex, Republicans, red necks, etc. Funny and sad at the same time.

He is bringing up all the social issues and learning first hand of their values (bigotry).

I missed it! I sat down at this computer and forgot to watch.

Are they singing "Throw the jew down the well" yet?

I'll turn on HBO west in a little while. Should be there.

3. I never saw anything about throwing the . . .

"Jew down the wall." However, he makes fun of everything . . .Muslims, Christians, Andy Rooney was on last night and got pissed. He had some gay guy getting muscle guys to pose on the beach during spring break. He had them screaming and jumping up and down and mooning the camera.

After they had dropped their drawers and had their butts in the air, he then told them to start screaming and hooting and say hello to the Australian Gay Channel. The guys were like . .. WHAT DID YOU SAY?? What the F*** are you . . . it was going to get ugly. It was funny to see their reactions though.

First time I saw the show. I thought it was pretty good. I didn't see him say anything really bad like throwing someone Jewish. I don't think that would be too funny myself unless he made it fair by rolling a Muslim in the mud or making a Christian jump over the wall. (these are just examples. Really, none of these things would be really funny; however, if he is going to state something about one religion, he needs to include them all in his disrespect for them).

4. I see the msg you replied to was deleted

But he really did sing a song with that very title, as BORAT, the guy from Khazakstan. He went to a country western bar, ingratiated himself as the character, and sang a song on stage--and that was the chorus line. It was a very catchy tune, despite the hateful words, and the drunken cowboys at the bar roared with laughter, clapped and sang along. It was horrifying, and funny in that sick way. You watch it and you can't believe these people are just singing away, either not thinking about the words or worse, not comprehending the hate.

Ali G, though, is Jewish. His last name is Cohen...!

Edit for spelling and to add this link to Borat singing the tune:
