No, I will not be watching. Obviously, the man is entitled to say any stupid thing he likes. It could be artistically interesting, but, is it good for the Jews? Yes, I know it's the same old question. But let's look at the African American experience. Obviously, you can't blame gangster rap for everything. That said, allowing the N-word and exaggerated stereotypes of black male violence and sexuality to permeate their popular culture has undoubtedly made racism worse, not better. It's a lot easier to demonize Tupac Shakur than Grandma Moses. Once you start letting kike enter common parlance, or making movies like "Keeping up with the Steins," well, the genie's out of the bottle. It doesn't matter that Baron Cohen is lampooning anti-semitism. He's still allowing people to feel comfortable expressing it out in the open, when they might have felt ashamed enough to keep their mouths shut otherwise.
BTW, I'm thinking one of his parents is Jewish. Maybe he only gets to say Ki.
