From an article by John Lahr on British comedian Steve Coogan from the Nov. 5, 2007 issue of The New Yorker:
"Coogan's humor often trades on the almost Oriental complexity of the British class system" [emphasis inserted by me]
WTF??? "Oriental" complexity? I have NO IDEA what that means. And what does it have to do with the British class system? Seriously, I'm stumped on this one. It all sounds vaguely racist, but more to the point, it just sounds like a bunch of nonsense, meaning I can make NO SENSE out of this sentence.
