    Was anyone here offended by Borat?Funny movie?Funny character?
    I just saw the movie Borat for the first time the other night and thought it was pretty funny but crude where it would turn some people off or offend them.I didn't realize that the damn movie was really filmed where the people in it thought Borat was a real person.That would have made it all the funnier when I was watching it.I guess quite a few of the people in the movie are suing Cohen because they say it ruined their reputation.The tv anchorwoman said she lost her job and went into debt and foreclosure resulting in depression.


    I can see where there would be an endless amount of Borat movies touching on many topics that would be hilarious.The problem now would be to find more unsuspecting prop people to use in the movies because Borat's gig is up where he's not annonymous anymore.

    It was kind of refreshing to see someone poke fun at his own ethnicity being that Cohen is Jewish where he poked fun at Jewish stuff.Maybe if more groups,religions,races and genders did the same,we wouldn't have all this walking on egg shells political correctness double speak talk and attitude in this country where poeople would lighten up.

    I think the guy is genius, but yeah, he's getting sued out the ass for that movie. Even that country is suing him. The frat boys from the RV ad a suit going too. It's their own damn fault for being douchebags, if you ask me.

    He has done this with a few charaters. Look up some youtube videos of "Da Ali G. Show" Funny, funny stuff. Better than Borat. He has a wierd fashion designed character too...can't remember the name.

      The only thing that I have seen him do is run in front of the Tour de France last year in a euro man grape sac thing. It was funny stuff.

        I wasn't offended, but compare the Borat act to something like the Jackass bits. It's funny for about the first two skits, then I get a bit bored with it.

          I was very disappointed with the movie. But this was because I had such high expectations, as "the Ali G show" were much better.

          Like this video where he is playing a country song in a redneck bar.

          The fashion guy, is an austrian gay reporter named Bruno. He is great too. According to IMDB a similar movie about Bruno will be released this year.

            I was sickened at the amount of male nudity.

            I was offended at the unfunniness of the movie in general.

            As for race humor or whatever, it's fairly pedestrian.
