i haven't seen borat (yet)

but i will. i think mr cohen is very funny and inventive. i also think he's VERY hard to watch. da ali g show always made me feel uncomfortable. i can think of many instances, but watching those people in that (arizona, i believe) little bar sing 'throw the jew down the well' just had me CRINGING. yet instead of yelling out to 'borat' to get off the stage or telling him we don't sing songs like that in america, ALL of those audience members ended up SINGING THAT DAMN SONG along with 'borat'.

i don't care how much alcohol one has had or if one was 'duped' into an interview or a songfest or whatever or if one was told this will NEVER be shown in america...., TAKE EFFING RESPONSIBILITIES for your EFFING ACTIONS. if you are a misogynist and a racist well then, THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE. don't try to sue someone for pointing it out


L.A. judge sides with "Borat" against frat boys

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - As the esteemed Kazakh television journalist Borat Sagdiyev might say: "High Five. Sexy Time. You Lose."
Two college fraternity buddies shown guzzling alcohol and making racist remarks in the "Borat" movie have lost their bid for a court order to cut the scene they claim has tarnished their reputations, court papers revealed on Monday.
The students sued the movie's distributor and producers last month, saying filmmakers had duped them into appearing in "Borat" by getting them drunk and falsely promising the film would never be shown in the United States.
At the time the suit was filed, a judge denied the pair's request for a temporary restraining order that would remove footage of them from the film, but the plaintiffs were given a another chance to seek an injunction at a hearing last week.
The South Carolina college students lost again when Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Joseph Biderman ruled they had failed to show a reasonable probability of success on the merits of their case or that money damages alone would be insufficient to resolve their claims.
Arguments on the latest motion focused mainly on the future DVD release of the hit movie, "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan."
The faux documentary, distributed by 20th Century Fox, has already grossed more than $120 million at the North American box office after six weeks in theaters............
