From a new article about the same subject:
First of all I have not seen the movie because every time I've gone all the tickets are sold out, so I have not seen the scenes in question. My only point is this: every time people can get money out of something they will try to, if I have any problem is that maybe he did not pay them enough to show up on the film, but I dont have any problem on making fun of people even if it is in bad taste. I think the whole thing about being horrified and humilliated is over the top, and I think they probably want more money out this...and I don't blame them mind you.

And yes, I don't have a problem of making fun of them because I find it that it is so obviously fake and retarded that there is no way that any human being would take it seriously, kind of like the Khazak government complaining about the portrayal of the country, it is so obviously a fucking joke. And yeah I agree with what he said, the joke is on those that take it seriously.
