First there was Ben Stiller doing the lion, but let it pass, let it pass. The zebra was a street-black character voiced as a shallow street-black character. A racial parody. How offensive! Why can't we all just get along -- and talk the same?The giraffe was a faggy neurotic, or again a parody of one. Why can't he just be made to act normal?
And the woman in the star quartet was a hippo! That's not amusing.
Worst of all, Ali G was the Lemur King and he spoke in an accent that made fun of all foreign accents.
How much better, and more *sensitively*, we would all get along if such stereotypical portrayals were avoided and we all spoke standard English.
The movie wasn't very funny either.

- Yes, "joking". The form is called "parody". It means to copy others in a comical way. Like the posters below... - clarkjohnsen 07:31:24 06/25/05 (0)
