Just saw it last night.  Wicked satire.  Anyone seen it?

I almost peed myself during the hotel wrestling scene.

It is worth seeing, as long as you don't mind hairy men with no clothes on.

As funny as that scene was, it was equally traumatizing.  Great fun.

Borat got thumped the other day. He and Hugh Laurie (star of House) were going out after taping a SNL show and Borat stopped a New Yorker and askedplease to be buying his clothes for great sex. The dude popped him twice before anyone could intervene.

People aren't too happy with Borat. He has two lawsuits pending I heard. His "victims" are claiming they were just trying to humor the weirdo so he would go away and then he puts the crap he tricked them into saying on screen. Me personally I find the "He started it" defense kinda weak when applied to bigotry.

As the great philosopher Eric Bischoff once said,

"Controversy Creates Cash"

I hear he's planning on doing his next movie as the gay Austrian TV host from the Ali G show.  I guess it will follow the same format as the Borat movie.

The movie turned the mirror on America, and I'm betting more than two lawsuits will come of it.

Well, as long as everyone who was on the movie signed a release paper (regardless of how drunk they were, in the situation with the frat boys) they really can't do anything.  Besides, they can have their credits on IMDB now!

Those frat boys really were schmucks.  They were dumb even before they signed the release.
