Борат как alter ego Фредди Меркьюри

Новости кино:

Sacha Baron Cohen, the hirsute and comical actor from faux-doc blockbuster Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, has signed to on to portray flamboyant Queen frontman Freddie Mercury in a forthcoming yet-to-be titled film, the U.K.'s Mirror reports.

Cohen, 35, reportedly nudged out Johnny Depp for the role, which will depict Mercury's music, wild lifestyle, and untimely death in 1991 at the age of 45, due to an AIDS-related illness. "Film makers are working flat out to get the best possible script," an unidentified source told the Mirror. "Sacha loves the idea he can get away with playing Freddie after modeling Borat's look on him."

Безупречный выбор, надо сказать.

Sarko the Idiotarian

Раз: From a reader in Spain: "For goodness sake, somebody blog something about Sarkozy's most shocking phrase of the debate (which is being mentioned nowhere in the mainstream press): 'A free country is one in which you can freely spend half of what you earn.' This is France's idea of 'liberal' (European meaning)! Russian serfs got to keep 2/3rds!"

Два: [Sarkozy] expresses his support for patent law on the grounds that it "encourages enterprises to innovate, it attracts investments, [and] encourages individuals to ... develop new inventions." In addition, Sarkozy supported the concept of intellectual property ... In answer to the question about open standards and free software, he replied that "it is not the purpose of the State, in my concept of freedom, to impose a model on anyone."
