Ben Kingsly looks horrible. He still sounds British and his Moko (Face Tattoo) is just stupid. | ||

And the presentation is horrible. Is it informative, trying to be funny or trying to label him as a lunatic? It fails on all 3 points. | ||

That was one of the worst videos I've ever seen. He spends the entire time insulting him and repeatedly bringing up the "racial" comments that OSC makes, despite the fact that OSC doesn't mention race a SINGLE time. In fact, it's the guy in the video who comes off as racist, given that he assumes that young urban men who are out of work/gang members consist entirely of black people. | ||

It's pretty clearly a satire trolling his liberal critics. And given the responses, it worked out nicely for him. He'll have a pretty big win if the boycotts aren't centered around gays any more, where his Mormonism and prior comments were used as rallying cries to this. Card is probably banking that lots of liberals are too lazy to actually carry out a general boycott. | ||

Regarding the youtube video, I agree that all I see is a conspiracy-like text from OSC and a reporter that spends half of his airtime with ad hominem attacks and the other half ranting about his own racist prejudices. But either way, you don't have to like the man to like his work. And regarding the topic at hand, I will go and see this movie, no matter how disappointing it turns out to be. | ||

Rofl after I read the whole article that TYT video is one of the more embarassing pieces of 'journalism' I've ever seen in my life. | ||
