– Hollywood producer Brad Goodman (the man behind Borat & Bruno) thought it would be a wise idea to make a mockumentary about convicted sex offender Dimitri The Lover (AKA “The Reason Many Woman Stay Single….”). The disgraced former Toronto MD became an Internet sensation after odd voicemails he left for a potential mate went viral a few years back. Today, Dimitri is cashing in with a new career as a wingman and pickup expert. At first, I thought this guy was just your average douchebag…I’m now convinced that he simply has to be mentally ill.
