13273428, Yup – we were duped. Ya’ got me, Sacha!
Posted by legsdiamond, Wed Jul-11-18 01:14 PM
Yo, Sacha Boren Cohen duped Sarah Palin and her daughter. He posed as a US Vet and they traveled across the country to meet him

what has me rolling is after the interview they intentionally dropped Palin off at the wrong airport in DC so they missed their flight.

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/social-media-users-respond-sacha-baron-cohen-impersonating-us-veteran-tricking-sarah-palin-014912061.html

Sarah wrote: “Yup – we were duped. Ya’ got me, Sacha. Feel better now? I join a long list of American public personalities who have fallen victim to the evil, exploitive, sick ‘humor’ of the British ‘comedian’ Sacha Baron Cohen, enabled and sponsored by CBS/Showtime.”

She says that she and her daughter traveled across the country to meet Cohen in his disguise. She says that she experienced an interview full of “Hollywoodism’s disrespect and sarcasm” and that she removed her microphone and left.

She also alleges that the Cohen/CBS/Showtime production team purposefully dropped off Palin and her daughter at the wrong Washington, D.C., airport after the interview, knowing that they would miss their flights back to Alaska.

13273441, she called it evil humor lol

I cannot wait for this show. Ali G Show is one of my all time faves.
13273456, How are people still falling for this dude?

I guess before he was big in America it made sense, but it's 2018.
13273472, I mean.. its a US Vet and I bet the Palins

plus, once dude is dressed up you won't catch it if you are white, older and not up on things

13273474, This show is going to be a bummer

Does anybody really want to remember Sarah Palin as representative of a simpler time when politicians could feel shame?
13273495, this feels like Jon Stewart circa 2001-2007

dark times
13273479, Not only do these fuckfaces have zero sense of humor
Posted by J_Stew, Wed Jul-11-18 02:14 PM
they want people locked up for it. Borat is still the most accurate depiction of the American psyche ever made.
13273573, Anyone who uses the term "fuckface" is OK by me.

Yo... you got a Maschine MK3 yet?

Because it's fantastic.
13273602, Yeah, I had the Studio a couple years back and sold it
Posted by J_Stew, Wed Jul-11-18 05:42 PM
I made about 20 tracks I was happy with, mainly just to see if I still had it. I really loved using it.

I thought I was done but I figured out I can't live a happy life without making music in some shape or form so I bought an MK3 about 4-5 months ago and got Komplete Ultimate. I've been using it on its own and also using all the NI products within Reason 10.

I'm getting into doing more classical/film score type stuff and less looped based music.
13273595, any time they can hide behind the vets
Posted by Mynoriti, Wed Jul-11-18 05:15 PM
disabled vets to boot? shit
13273601, I need someone to remake the movie "Up"
Posted by Cold Truth, Wed Jul-11-18 05:36 PM
Except the crotchety old man will be a more overt version of what he likely is anyways, a hardcore conservative christian.

This version would combine him with the dog, and instead of the "squirrel" popping up at inopportune times, he'll simply shout Trumpian slogans like "MAGA" or "Support Our Troops!" whenever he gets caught doing something shady.
13273603, Lol I still haven't seen it

The end was a little cheesy but the beginning was fantastic.

If these morons are going to be that clueless, why the fuck should I feel even slightly bad for them?

Posted by Marauder21, Thu Jul-12-18 03:47 PM
And he's threatening to sue, "to defend his honor." Also pretty sure "I'm ready to defend her again!" was something he also said to a teenage girl's parents.

There's no way this show can be as good as it seems, but I'm loving all these chuds giving him free advertising.
