You don’t want to piss off Australian writer John Safran. As part of his TV show, John Safran vs. God, he convinced the senior judge of the U.K. Sharia Court to issue a fatwa on an Australian talk show host who bumped Safran from his show. On another
occasion he cast a voodoo spell on his exgirlfriend. And when he’s done waging war on his personal enemies, Safran turns on his ideological foes, attempting to join the KKK and knocking on doors in Utah, trying to convert Mormons to atheism. Safran’s provocative docu-pranks have been compared to the antics of Michael Moore and Sacha Baron Cohen, and it would not surprise us to see him reach their same heights.
