Talk:Sacha Baron Cohen
|
|
It seems that most sources (including the Observer article (http://www.observer.co.uk/comment/story/0,6903,656096,00.html)) give his date of birth as 1972, although at least one (http://www.praylew.freeserve.co.uk/sacha/sacha_bio.html) says "December 1970" - the added precision could mean that the author of this source knows something that the others don't. I can't find even one source that gives his place of birth. It seems that Sacha Baron Cohen tries to keep his real life fairly secret, but I bet we can find out more about him... ;)
Date of Birth
IMDB lists it as 13 October 1971, but doesn't elaborate on its sources, and I couldn't find anything else on the web to confirm... --Aaron 04:55, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)
"Met With Bemusement?"
What? unless you're only browsing christian, right-wing websites, I have no idea what this article is talking about. As far as I know, the 'common knowledge' on Da Ali G Show is that he is amusing, not bemusing. He has offended people in the same way Two Towers offended people: as in, not the majority. He himself is jewish, he himself is not racist, but, like an HBO spokesman said, he is using the prejudices and idiocies of society to elicit reactions, showing just how stupid society is. Some people are uptight, and those are the people who do not like Ali G. I think this merits an edit. Lockeownzj00 01:40, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Auschwitz
"and Bruno, a gay Austrian fashion show presenter with a Nazi streak, advocating that ugly people be put on a train and sent to Auschwitz"
I saw this episode and I don't think that he said Auschwitz. He just said "a camp." It was hilarious, not racist.
