Sorry, I didn’t find that funny in the least.
About an hour ago I read Sarah's post about this incident on her Facebook page. The company that contacted her seemed legit. She wrote that she took off her mic during the interview and walked away. She also gave Baron Cohen permission to use the footage even if it was heavily edited just to show how bad Baron Cohen would show himself to really be.
The really crappy thing is Sarah wrote that the production people deliberately dropped her and her daughter off at the wrong DC airport so they would miss their flight back to Alaska.
Palin flies all the way out from Alaska to help who she thinks is a Wounded Warrior complete with a wheelchair and instead gets punked by Cohen.
Cohen had to figure out someway to draw her out and did because she always helps veterans. It's funny. Get it? Because Sarah Palin is a bitch and stupid and deserves it.
And to top it off they take to the wrong airport on purpose so her high school age daughter misses school.
Laugh riot.
Yeah....my point, exactly.
You stated it more ‘humorously’, for those that are up for cheap laughs, to get it.
Laugh riot, alright....to all the jokers who may actually find this insipid stunt one bit funny.
(Great post)
Cruelty masking as comedy.
It all starts reminding me of a play by Brecht called The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui.
Thanks, Hound for your sensitive post and beautiful photo.
KC, just wanted to call your attention to this lovely photo of one of our favorite ladies.
May Cohen rot in hell for eternity.
Posing as a wounded veteran and deceiving others? Goodness!
It is one thing for a good candid laugh but this?!
There simply had to be a better way IF what he wanted was a genuine fun laugh.
I had never seen it before.
Thank you for the ping to this sweetest Miss Marmelstein, Sarah is so fortunate to have FReeper FRiends like you :)
Isn’t that photo of our Sarah....with a REAL veteran....not a FAKE, stolen valor one....an amazing pic?
May God continue to bless and keep sweet Sarah.
I just had to ping you over that one, KC!
So what, all she had to do was google this his name/names and voila on wikipedia right there gives all his names used.
Took me one minute to find out who he was.
Well, aren’t YOU so clever?
NOT!
As has been explained, by numerous posters.....the idiot Cohen likely did NOT use his REAL name/credentials.
No, instead he used FAKE credentials....as in Stolen Valor.
And, you seem to be okay with that.
I think you may be on the WRONG forum!
If he claimed Wounded Warrior, that is disgusting. I do know of disabled Vets who do not have awards but do not claim to be WW. Maybe Trace Adkins should have a little “interview” with this jerk.
And, yes, I am one who has never thought he was funny. Commercials for his movies etc have made want to hurl. He just creeps me out.
well, he can be funny. Like the time he interviewed some feminists (as Ali G) and mixed up feminism with l******ism
Those who, in fact, are Christians..............Not just claim to be...........
Satire is protected speech.
I don’t like what he did, but it’s legal.
That has to be one of the silliest things I read on FR in a while.
Only if it political in nature.
Otherwise, slander, libel and defamation laws are unconstitutional.
Palin could sue to get reimbursed for her time and money spent for her to travel to DC to be interviewed by this clown, under false pretenses.
She believed he represented a nonprofit Veterans Organization and was volunteering her time. But in reality he was doing a TV show for his own profit.
That is where she has the basis for her suit if she chooses.................
