The Dictator Tackles Today


As you may or may not know Sacha Baron Cohen arrived in Australia a few days ago. This time he has come in the guise of Admiral General Aladeen to promote his upcoming movie, The Dictator. Already he has created a stir with comments involving Julia Gillard and a sex change, 'Slippery slipper." and even calling the female presenter on the Today show 'sugar tits'. I watched his interview on the Today show and once again he does enough crude jokes to make me both offended and in stitches at the same time. He is certainly an entertainer. The interview is below for those who wish to watch it.


Now I am happy to admit that I have seen two of Sacha Baron Cohen's previous movies, both Borat and Bruno, and perhaps a little guiltily I will admit I found them both highly entertaining. Though the humour is often crude and the scenes can sometimes leave you going, "what the?!" he is undoubtedly one funny guy. For those who don't like him, all I can advise is that he is a comedian. Its his job to pay out anyone and everyone so go with it rather than get offended.

His latest movie The Dictator will be in cinemas on May 15 and tells 'the story of a dictator who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed' (Wikipedia 2012)
