Film / Ethics Trailer Time! Sacha Baron Cohen's The Dictator
Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Wed, Dec 14, 2011 at 11:44 AM
Soooooo... Sacha Baron Cohen, who has historically been wildly hilarious, has a new movie coming out this summer called The Dictator, supposedly based on the Saddam Hussein-penned romance novel, Zabibah and the King—though to me it just looks like flat out racism. ("And yet Borat wasn't racist?" I hear my brain scream at me. STOP SCREAMING AT ME, BRAIN!! Let's let the more-ethical-than-thou residents of Blogtown solve this quandary. Sheesh!) Watch this.
