"Who Is America?" Sasha Baron-Cohen's latest, and greatest.

I'm right there with you
On this one. Both sad & hysterical @ the same time.

I kept thinking ," Holy shit- how did he get
Darth Vader himself to agree to that interview?"

Cheney is lookin' miiiighty spry to be 10000 years old & an Evil Overlord!
SURVEY SAYS: HE EATS BABIES! =D

Found this recent interview of Sasha Baron-Cohen thru Reddit.
Boy, oh boy there is a passage in reference to Gio (one of his outrageous persona) where he's referencing child trafficking. I will just post the disturbing exerpt below. But I highly recommend you read thru the entire thing. His descriptions of Dick Cheney (Whom he spent three hours with!) is eerily interesting. Gotta give props to him for upping the bar of disclosure thru comedy.

BARON COHEN: Exactly. [...] The satirical aim of him was to show the levels to which people would go to, out of greed. What would they do for money? In one of the interviews a yacht builder is ready to build a yacht for Colonel Asaad even though it’s going to be used to transport women, basically sex slaves. And during the interview Gio receives fellatio and

is ready to carry on and keep on talking about the deal.

And there was an interview that didn’t make it in, with Gio. We were shooting some of this at the time of Harvey Weinstein. We wanted to investigate how does someone like Harvey Weinstein gets away with doing what…get away with criminality, essentially. And the network that surrounds him. We decided that Gio would interview a concierge in Las Vegas. During the interview, I revealed that basically Gio has molested an eight-year-old boy. Now, mind you, this is extreme comedy and we thought that the guy would leave the room. Instead, this concierge stays in the room and I go, listen, you’ve got to help me get rid of the problem. And this guy starts advising Gio how to get rid of this issue. We even at one point talk about murdering the boy, and the concierge is just saying, ‘well, listen, I’m really sorry. In this country, we can’t just drown the boy. This is America we don’t do that.’ And then, in the end, he puts me in touch with a lawyer who can silence the boy. I became really dark stuff. And then at the end of the interview I say, listen, I want to go out and celebrate now. Can you get me a date for tonight? He says, ‘what do you mean, a date?’

I go, you know, like a young man. He says, ‘well, what kind of age?’ I say, lower than Bar Mitzvah but older than eight. And he says, ‘yeah, I can put you in touch with somebody who can get you some boys like that.’

DEADLINE: None of this remotely qualifies as comedy. What did you do?

BARON COHEN: We immediately turned over the footage to the FBI because we thought, perhaps there’s a pedophile ring in Las Vegas that’s operating for these very wealthy men. And this concierge had said that he’d worked for politicians and various billionaires. But in the end the FBI decided not to pursue it.

DEADLINE: Not surprising you didn’t put it in the show…

BARON COHEN: It was too dark and wrong. In a journalistic way it was fascinating, but it was so extreme and so dark that it was too unsettling for the audience.

Thank you to the EMMYs for the nominations

for Who Is America. It was a bare-bones production - I went out into the heartland of this country armed only with a camera crew, a makeup kit and my trusted pedophile detector.
