NORTHERN PLANNER

I found this amusing, but I don’t agree with it.

This kind of thing is what makes the new series of Extras funny for me. There are jokes about every taboo subject you can think of, from what you can say in front of the disabled to homophobia. Even though you laugh, you know you shouldn’t. This is real genius of the show for me, it’s actually making fun of us and the difference between what we say and what we think. Brilliant. 

Speaking of things you shouldn’t really laugh at, the website for the new Borat film is genius. For some it’s puerile nonsense,for others achingly funny.  If you’re the latter, it’s brimming with classic clips, an excruciatingly funny reaction to the condemnation from the Kazakh government and, best of all, the link to an even funnier MySpace page. Loads to see and do, fun for the initiated, everything the new viewer needs to know before seeing the film. I like. Sacha Baron Cohen could teach quite a few of us about integrated planning n’est pas?.
