SBC isn't just savaging the right, he's also beating up the left

Yes, I completely agree. Sacha Baron Cohen is hard to pin down; it often seems like he is attacking EVERYONE (you see that also in his Ali G show)! I think also, one point that he makes is to take things more easily. I think that in a certain way, he is trying to help people grow a sense of humour and stop taking themselves so seriously. In addition, it seemed to me that he was also trying to show male/female double-standards; in the media and elsewhere, we always see women who are terribly vain, obsessed with their "bodies" and who are always showing themseves half-naked, but when a man does this, it magically becomes scandalous and unacceptable. However, at the same time, he is showing how that same self-infatuation and obsession with the "body" is absolutely ridiculous.
Yeah, I agree also with what you're saying about Bruno's song "Dove of Peace": Bono and Snoop Dog actually have a sense of humour! But once again, I get a strange vibe from that last scene: was he trying to show that these artists who are doing world peace songs are the same sort of self-infatuated rich lefties who are using world issues as publicity? "Dove of peace" is an obvious parody of the song Bono did for Band Aid....

I don't want realism. I want magic!

OP thats why i watch his movies. If he didnt see the idiotism of the lefties he would be blind and.. not himself.

I agree, he does sometimes attack the left too, albeit on a subconscious level most of the time. I don't think SBC attacks the left as much as the right (evidence in the Da Ali G Show and political interview candidates), but he definitely does not impart too much noticeable bias.

When logic and science aren't on your side, you always lose.

Could someone point out where there are any left-wing people in this film - or anny other of his?

There's obviously a ridiculous, ignorant concept of what the term means going on here.

Or maybe he's just a guy that makes funny movies.

Not everything has to have hidden meaning or "say something"... I mean, pranks can be interesting PEOPLE studies... but I doubt he took any of his prank victims political affiliation into consideration when he made this.

It's weird how everyone is disturbed by the hostile rednecks reaction at the end of the movie... yet no one says anything about the "homophobic" black audience in the talk show scene.

I think that SBC is basically spoofing the human race.

We should all be treated equally, and made fun of equally!
