While it’s been difficult to separate the truth from the publicity stunt, in the last few days there’s been a bit of fuss over whether Sacha Baron Cohen was planning on attending the Oscars in character as Admiral General Aladeen from his upcoming movie The Dictator.

Now Admiral General Aladeen himself has responded to the evil westerners trying to stop his going to the Oscars, so take a look. The Dictator is out May 18th.
