Given the recent talk of the United Nations, below is an interview with former Secretary General Boutros Boutros Gali from Egypt. It should serve to provide some excellent material for discussion:
Ali G: Boyakasha. I is here with the geeser who was the Secretary General of the United Nations. His name be none other than my man Boutros Boutros Boutros Gali and him will explain about the United Nations innit. How many countries is in the UN?
BBG: If I’m not wrong according to the last statistics there must have more than 180 countries.
Ali G: Is Disneyland a member of the UN?
BBG: No, because Disneyland is not a indepedent state.
Ali G: Do you think in 100 years time, Disneyland or Disney World could have a seat?
BBG: No. Disneyland is not doing politics…
Ali G: [interrupts] Well, some of them is, some of them characters
BBG: It is for the young children.
Ali G: How many languages is spoken at the UN?
BBG: You have practically what we call the 5 languages.
Ali G: But which is the funniest language, it’s French isn’t it. [makes funny sounds mocking French]
BBG: Not necessarily, maybe Arabic is more funny. It depends to whom.
Ali G: To you, what was the one that when the delegate went up and started speaking, you was like [laughs]…I gotta go…to the bathroom.
BBG: I’m not allowed to do this. I’m the secretary general.
Ali G: But there musta been one where they were going up there and going abba dabba babba da…
BBG: I have to have a poker face, like this [makes poker face].
Ali G: Do you speak French?
BBG: Yes.
Ali G: How do you say shit in French?
BBG: Chic?
Ali G: Shit shit…crap…rubbish
BBG: Oh…de la merde.
Ali G: How do you spell that?
BBG: m-e-r-d-e
Ali G: emm, ahh…
BBG: r-d-e
Ali G: Thanks for that. Me wanna say big up yourself Boutros Boutros Boutros Boutros Gali. Respect!
[note: errors are original]
Respect! Boyakasha!
Old Ali G is the greatest.
Indeed. His interviews with famous politicans are truly priceless. For example, during his interview with former CIA director James Woolsely:
Ali G: So is that your real face?
JW: [laughs] Yes, I’ve had it for a long time.
Ali G: So who really shot JR?
JW: You mean JFK?
Ali G: Who?
It’s a shame Disneyland can’t be a UN member. Goofy would make a good secretary-general…
My favorite parts of the Daily Show are the real-faux interviews, where the interviewees apparently do not know that they’re being punkd. Great expressions of bewilderment and confusion can be seen.
Does Ali G have some important uncle or something? The quality of interviews he gets is unimaginable. If its this easy, why don’t see see the “Curzon, Younghusband, and Chirol Show.”
Curzon: “I say, wot wot!”
Younghusband:” Off to the Punjab!”
Chirol: “In Germany today…”
*famous interview subject — Bill Clinton or someone* “Is there a question?”
Curzon: “I say, wot wot!”
Younghusband:” Off to the…”
Wot wot indeed!
Yes, he gets those interviews without having a famous uncle. “See Slate’s great expose here.”:http://slate.msn.com/id/2106886/

I assume having a famous psychologist as a cousin does not help? Supposedly, most of the later Ali G interviews are with Americans because he became too popular in Britain, and it was becoming too difficult for him to find famous people who had not heard of him.
Famous or elite Uncle aside, Ali is a Cohen and from what I have read, Cohen is a priest class of Jewish peoples. So maybe Ali has elites in his family. Impossible I know but it would be a real shock to find neputism amongst Jews in entertainment, politics and industry. Chosen peoples or not, Ali is very funny. Limited, but funny.
The Jewish thing may be offensive. If offensive, I appologize. It was just an uneducated observation. So I guess I too have been brainwashed by the media! … yeah, that works for me. There are always a few bad apples in every bunch. Having bananas on my family tree does not make me an expert in any subject except international banking, substance abuse and mobile homes. …Anyway, upon reflection of Disney in the U.N. I see that the Canadian Parliament has a French opposition party in the House Of Commons, the Bloc Quebecois. They have one main agenda…to separate from Canada and form a free sovereign Quebec inside Canada. . Amerika should have a referendum. Mickey could get Goofy to cross over and join the rest. I know Goofy is a Communist, I have seen him on CSPAN promoting some De-Worming program introduced by Pluto, of the CTAP ( Communistic Toon Party of Amerika ) Disneyland in my humble opinion Disney could be a great Empire. And a fun vacation spot. The older toons may want to stay in Florida so the young can enjoy the west coast and those inclined for something a little different could go to our powerful and very animated allies in France and Tokyo. Ali G could be Good Will Ambassador! Boyakasha. Although I believe Ali’s close personal and business connections to $crooge McDuck may present some conflict of interest. …Any thoughts?
