synchronicity or coincidence? These articles and this short film recently came to my attention:
It's All In The Details (skin deep is pretty shallow...)
Why I Hate Beauty (research that hits a hot button...)
Not Pretty, Really (not just a pretty face...)
hmmm...

oh dear, don’t laugh out loud if you go to borat!

I have been a Sacha Baron Cohen (alias Ali G & alias Borat) fan for some time and went to see the now infamous Borat film last night. As I left the theatre I remarked to my companions that people who were not familiar with the satire of Ali G would not like or understand the intention of this movie. I was right on that score. Unfortunately I had laughed out loud and was severely scolded by some friends who were in the theatre and knew my laughter. They saw the movie purely as ridiculing the people of Kazakhstan, and were sufficiently offended by what they saw as purely crude humour that they left before the end.
