You can't get tossed off on American television

Pity.

In what has got to be the weirdest form of WTFery Commedy Central played the Ali G Movie for prime time audiences.  It was cut to be made suitable for the time slot, but what got me was what they cut and what they didn't.   Having lots of 'RESKEPT' for Ali, I noticed what was missing.  After all, everything I learned about the UK I learned from Ali.  So when the pensioner tosses off the protesting and shackled Ali, they cut it.  Makes no sense to the plot line as now you have no idea why they chose him to run as a MP.  Apparently you can't cuss in Spanish either, oh English is ok, but they took out the dream sequence where he's confronting a Hispanic gang, but left the dog licking his dong in.  Left the shaven-haven quote about the Queen in too.  Took out the Thai Ambassador popping ping pong balls from her snatch.  Left the two stoned male African Ambassador's kissing in. 

That's some quality cinema.

I just don't get why some things stayed in and others did not, but as I quote from the movie, "We is experts."

I wonder what they'll have to do to make BORAT passable for TV.  I suspect the running time of the film will be 30 mins.


KEEP IT REAL, AV

sorry hon I am totally lost...

It's a Sascha Baron Cohen film about chav gangsters in England. It's a filthy commedy that leaves nothing sacred, and if you're looking for stupid commedy to secretly love, it's a great flick.

Michael Gambon also plays the Prime Minister.

Hmm looks like "Borat" to me.

[apollinav.livejournal.com]

Same actor plays both characters. Borat is on film for a few seconds in this movie meeting Ali, which is neither here nor there.

I'm just surprised that the sensors took out, 'Who's that the old pensioner is tossing off? And left in the gem, 'And I put it to you, you sucked off a horse.'
