Sacha Baron Cohen's The Dictator

The character — a mashup of Muammar Gadhafi, Saddam Hussein and other Middle Eastern tyrants — used the appearance to promote the film, which follows the despot during an Ahmedinejad-style visit to New York City. General Aladeen — the leader of the fictional country of Wadiya — reported that the film has already received raves from Roger Ebert and the New York Times, though in both cases the praise was extracted via torture.
