I understand that, but it seemed like 75% of the humor was just toilet humor with no social connection at all. Even Bruno on the Ali G show had more exposure of America than this movie. What is being exposed about America's dark side by people getting pissed off about two naked guys wrestling at a convention? Or bringing a bag of shit to the table at a bunch of redneck's party? I would have loved to see him completely take apart organized religion, but instead he seems to just run into a group of some very well intentioned religious zelots who seemed to be hurting nobody. Just wasn't that cutting edge and exposing to me. We know a lot of New Yorkers are assholes, a lot of southerners still have conferate beliefs, and drunk college kids are morons. Again, nothing new to me. I guess I was expecting something shocking. Shrug.
