Throw the Jew down the well

Sacha Baron Cohen (SBC) is just the most amazing phenomenon. For the first time in what seems decades, we actually have biting satire instead of humour. Unlike Friends, Seinfeld and others - which just take what is ordinary about life and turn it into sit-com, SBC's satire is biting.

In this case, look how quickly he gets his audience to enthusiastically sing along to "throw the jew down the well." Its not just funny. Its an incredible demonstration of all that it takes to get bigotry out of the average citizen. In this case its of the "US and A", as Borat puts it, but I'm sure that it applies to just about any other country as well.

He's brilliant!
