Sacha Baron Cohen's Ali G character is such a wanker, but what a funny wanker he is! In this clip, he reassures a pro-choice lesbian activist couple, "I love lesbians--I have loads of your videos," tells marchers "I's totally into abortion--I've been responsible for at least five," and yells "Free Nelson Mandela" in the middle of a rally.

President Obama may be a rock star president, but not every young person in America jumps at the chance to see him in concert give a speech. Seniors at the University of Notre Dame, who object to the President's pro-choice stance, will skip graduation, where Obama's set to deliver the commencement speech.
