Jew Hunting with Borat
Uncategorized December 8th, 2006Where the hell does Cohen find these guys????
Isn’t free speech beautiful!
PS here are few interesting facts from Wikipidea about Sacha Baron Cohen aka Borat.
Sacha was a member of, and in 1989 first acted (in Neil Simon’s play Biloxi Blues) with,[1] the Jewish Zionist youth movement group “Habonim Dror.”
He spent a year in Israel at Kibbutz Rosh Hanikra as part of the Habonim Dror Shnat program before going to university.
Baron Cohen is an observant Jew. He keeps kosher, and generally observes the Jewish Sabbath, refusing to answer the phone on shabbat.
As a supreme jest, understood by few, while playing Jew-bashing Borat he frequently speaks in Hebrew. He also sings the lyrics from an old Hebrew folk song, and identifies his country’s greatest scientist, who discovered that a woman’s brain is the same size as that of a squirrel, as “Dr. Yarmulke.”

The best thing about him, though, is his brother who is a brainchild of the band Zohar, who put out “onethreeseven” … some of my FAVORITE music.
Alas, they only have two albums out and I can only find one. And not even for download (I’m horrible, I know).
