I like Sacha Baron Cohen -- I mean, the guy's talented as hell.
Which is why I'm hoping that this little news item is another one of his clever jokes -- like the one he pulled recently on unsuspecting wrestling fans in Arkansas: According to London's Daily Mail, Baron Cohen's wedding to Isla Fisher is on hold while she goes through the necessary machinations and learns the secret handshake required to convert to Judaism.
Two things: First of all, there's nothing more ridiculous -- nothing -- than allowing superstitious nonsense and centuries of idiotic tradition to stand in the way of being with someone you love. Once again -- nothing. Secondly, anyone who allows such silliness to stand between him and Isla Fucking Fisher, needs a frying pan to the side of the head.
Seriously, have you seen her?
Oh yeah, and the fact that Baron Cohen's Jewish mother is acting as an impediment to his happiness should earn her some kind of grand prize from the Society to Ensure the Perpetuation of Negative Stereotypes.
Please Isla, don't convert. Break the cycle for the sake of your own kid's hope of being well-adusted.
