But I am also a fan of politically incorrect humor.<br /><br />I haven't seen the movie yet, but from what I have seen and heard thus far I am not sure I want to spend $8.50 on it. <br /><br />Personally I don't think it should be politicized so much. However, choosing Kazakhstan was not accidental. Most Americans have a very vague idea of where it is, let alone be familiar with the country's culture which makes it an easy target. Does the fact that he is a Jew making fun of Jews make it ok? Well, he certainly gets away with it...<br /><br />Of course, ideally most people should be able to tell it's humor/satire, but there will always be those who will actually be ignorant enough to believe it.

I would equate him to 'your' Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie and K.Fed. He is enhancing his notoriety through embarrassing publicity stunts. But, the Kazac people shod ignore him, cuz they are making him even more popular. I think that he is an idiot with no pride and self respect.
