yeah, and the amer. ver. of The Ring sucks, and no Aussie would be caught dead drinking Fosters, and american cars are crap, yadda yadda yadda.... but Da Ali G show, now that's funny. i don't have HBO, but i've been getting it thru Netflix. i'm not a huge fan of any of the characters per se; what i find hilarious is how the people he's interacting w/ so often look like deer caught in the headlights. they seem to scared to just call bullshit on him.
