The 2012 film The Dictator features jokes about 9/11, the raping of pregnant women, murdering newborn babies, torture and much more. Many of the subjects referenced for comedic effect and the title character, North African tyrant Omar Aladeen (Sacha Baron Cohen), stem from unsettling realities. Yet not only was this film released, it enjoyed a degree of critical acclaim and was a box office success throughout the world.
