I can’t believe this pastor actually sat down with Bruno. I give him credit for that. But it makes his ideas against homosexuality sound even more absurd than they usually do. Which is why I find this hilarious.

[...] links, Sacha Baron Cohen | by kickyandfun While reading Unreasonable Faith today, I came across a clip of Bruno (Sacha Baron Cohen) interviewing an Arkansas pastor who is also a “gay converter.” At [...]
How weird, I just came across this video the other day randomly.
I can’t wait for the Bruno movie to come out. I think Sacha Baron Cohen is a genious at getting people to look rediculous, as well as making himself into a mold of what other people are often prejudiced against in order to do that.
OMG! That is hilarious!
so, the minister is teaching against socializing with anyone BUT other Christians? That’s not very christ-like.
“If eating [very chocolaty stuff] is part of your homosexual lifestyle, than nicht-nicht.”
Tears on my cheek from laughter!
Cohen doesn’t even have to try to make it funny… I wonder how far he could’ve gone until this pastor suspected he was being set up…
I think the fact that the pastor is such as retard that he can’t spot that he’s being set up reflects accurately the quality of his beliefsm to be honest…
So having a sexual relationship with another man of the same gender is bad?
Thanks, God, for making me a woman! We girls can love all the women of the same gender and it’s alright, I suppose.
Wouldn’t want to upset the Big Man in the Sky or anything.
I didn’t know that you could eat chocolate as part of a homosexual lifestyle. You learn something new every day.
The fact that this guy is a Christian leader and is oblivious to the fact he’s being set up says a lot. He’s completely blind to everything but his stupid little gay bashing book. I can’t believe I used to think morons like this were somehow worthy of my respect.
I have to admit, I probably wouldn’t want a lap dance from Borat either.
“The book of Job says, in . . . a verse . . . .”
ROFL!!
“So why is being gay so out this season?”
“Well, I think because there are people who find who find homosexuality to be…repugnant…to them.”
Um…say what?
I thought I was going to lose it when Bruno asked the pastor about being in a relationship with a “chick with a dick”. The confusion on his face made me want to yell “WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?” at my computer screen.
Not all people who follow Jesus are quite so unthoughtful. In fact, the pastor’s apparent insistence that we socialize only with other Christians is simply uninformed. Paul, whom he quotes (Romans), also wrote 1 Corinthians, insisting that we need to eat with and rub elbows with people other than “Christians.” Jesus hung out with people that the religious bosses didn’t approve of at all. Who cares what the religious bosses think? Historically, they are almost always wrong. Heck, they even murdered their Messiah after he exposed their complete failure to provide any light for the world.
A far more British view …

Though about the shower with a friend.,.

Alphonsus shakes his head and chuckles sadly at the unbridled stupidity of the human condition, and then recoils in horror at the memory that he is one of them.
I’m a huge SBC fan and have seen this episode numerous times, but I just can’t watch it enough. Can’t wait for the Bruno movie this summer.

I AM NOT HUNGRY
To be fair to him a lot of people that could be termed intelligent have been taken in Sacha Baron Cohen. Part of the ‘problem’ is that his characters are people belonging to groups that are minorities/discriminated against etc. and therefore in public people are very wary of criticising them. So however idiotic what they say is they have to resist the urge to shout “stop being such an idiot”. This in many ways it what makes it funny i.e. you can imagine what is going through the person’s mind but you also know that they have to ‘grin and bear it’as they are on TV.
are you saying Sasha Baron Cohen isn’t “british enough”?
To be honest, I don’t like him much anymore. He was much, much funnier as a ten minute sketch on The 11 O’Clock Show playing Ali G.
I don’t think that’s the case in this video though. Seriously, the pastor says that watching Will & Grace is “ungodly”. That’s the stupidest thing he says and that’s not even set up by Cohen. I should imagine even Cohen himself did not expect that answer.
No … no … no … just this sketch is far more representative of British attitudes with its balance between wanting to be tolerant but also being traditional at the same time.
I still find him funny but only in short doses. In addition now most of his material is US based I just don’t have the same connection with the people being interviewed/set-up.
In addition, there were quite a few people he interviewed back then who absolutely called him on his stupidity and offensiveness. Tony Benn and Prof. Heinz-Wolff come immediately to mind.
