Because that six minute "Don't Vote" ad wasn't annoying enough the first time around, now these asshats (Borat? Seriously? Can Sasha Baron Cohen even legally vote in this country?) are going all meta on everyone's asses.
The biggest names, from Scientologist Will Smith to Scientologist Tom Cruise, don't "get" why Steven Spielberg wants them to sarcastically tell America not to vote. Shia LaBeouf looks like he doesn't even know what the word "sarcastic" means, despite being part the most eye-rolling generation since, um, the Gen-X'ers. Speaking of which, there's Ben Stiller. What's wrong with his face?
Sacha Baron Cohen was arrested during a Milan fashion show this week while in character as the gay Austrian Bruno. Cohen was filming segments for his new film, Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Male. Apparently the Italian policia just don't "get" performance art of the Cohen caliber. You know, like the naked fat guys wrestling caliber.
Here's the footage of Cohen getting tackled and wearing a bag on his head like an Abu Ghraib refugee, although Guantanamo Bay references were more appropriate for Cohen's Borat's persona:

Thanks to the "newsworthy" value of Borat, Sacha Baron Cohen is off the hook in a defamation lawsuit filed by financial analyst Jeffrey Lemerond, who can be seen in the movie being chased down the street after refusing to give Borat a hug. GIVE BORAT A HUG, MAN.
Just when America was finally embracing its baser comedic inklings (see: Frank TV), Borat is back to remind us that satire’s true purpose is to make you feel stupid for being offended. The driving instructor, Michael Psenicska, in Borat did not enjoy being silently ridiculed by Sacha Baron Cohen and is suing the producers for $100,000 in compensatory damages and unspecified amount for punitive damages. The lawsuit will remind Americans about Borat, and that it's offensive,which will be worth whatever 20th Century Fox ends up paying Psenicska.
Just a reminder: Sacha Baron Cohen is not really anti-Semitic; he’s Jewish. He’s probably really is anti-Kazakhstani, but those people have like no lobbying presence in D.C. or Hollywood.
