Booyakasha! Ali G goes to the States

You just know that this is going to be superb! Ali lost it a bit over here because everyone now knows him so it's more difficult for him to get away with it. But to see Ali G interview Newt and Buzz is something I'd dearly love to see - he'll eat them all for lunch. Definitely a Jedi.

Booyakasha! British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen is taking his comic creation Ali G, the spoof white wannabe rap star, to the US.

Ali G will make his US debut next month on cable channel HBO, the home of hit shows including Sex and the City, The Sopranos and Six Feet Under.

But he won't be reinventing himself as a character from the Bronx or any other downtown district of the US - instead he is returning to his roots as a spoof yoof TV interviewer.

Da Ali G Show will feature Baron Cohen as Ali G, conducting his trademark dumbed-down interviews with leading American politicians and celebrities, none of whom are aware of his cover in the UK.

US public figures suffering the Ali G treatment include rightwing Republican Newt Gingrich, former Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis and astronaut Buzz Aldrin.

Do you feel like you're living in some Orwellian nightmare? Or perhaps you feel as if you're plugged into The Matrix? Well if so, you've come to the right place. No matter how messed up you thought the world was, by the time you've finished reading some of the things I've found on my travels in Cyberspace you'll realise that 1984 was just a typo!

A note to the non-ravers out there: codshit is NOT a derogatory or insulting term and bears no relation in offensiveness to its four-letter cousin, it's a word used to describe the nonsense that people sometimes talk when they are off their heads. To understand what codshit is watch the film Human Traffic.

Comments are welcome, but before you waste perfectly useful energy abusing me please take a moment to reflect on the basic right we all have to express ourselves!

Please remember that I am not telling you what to think or believe, take everything you read here with a large grain of salt!

So there, we have figured it out, go back to bed America, your government has figured out how it all transpired. Go back to bed America, your government is in control again. Here, here's American Gladiators. Watch this, shut up. Go back to bed America, here's American Gladiators. Here's 56 channels of it. Watch these pituitary retards bang their fuckin skulls together and congratulate you on living in the land of freedom. Here you go America, you are free... to do as we tell you.

Let there be no doubt that the people of the free world are engaged in a war... In the next few years, we are either going to see the people of the free world rise up against these fascists, now setting the stage for global war, or we are going to see the end of democracy as we know it with martial law the end result.
