Never Understood Why Sacha Baron Cohen is A Celebrity

Unless it is that he serves leftist causes.  I watched the first few minutes of Borat, and immediately understood why the Kazakh government was upset; all human governments should have been so.  This makes Birth of a Nation look good; that film was also entertaining. 7/17/18 Fox LA reports on a gun store owner who recognized Cohen in disguise and when told he was recognized. Cohen left, realizing that whatever dishonesty he was trying to pull (likely a strawman purchase, a federal felony).
