Borat--Helps others find their inner bigot...
Edited on Sat Sep-30-06 05:46 PM by TwoSparkles
Has anyone seen "Borat"? He's a comedian who says he's from
Kazakhstan. This video of him in a country-western bar is
priceless. The crowd of freeper-like rednecks, slowly
warms up to his anti-semitic song.

I wasn't sure whether to laugh or be scared when I saw this...

1. That would be "Borat," with a T.

I think you're supposed to laugh AND be scared.

2. Fixed...thanks....
..and yes, I laughed, and was scared.

I hope those in that audience decide to stay home this upcoming election day.

3. In case you're new to this comedian, Sacha Baron Cohen....
....he's Cambridge-educated and Jewish, and absolutely brilliant. I can't wait to see the movie.

6. Yup including those who are bigoted agains Kazakhstan
the over the top anti-semitism that is portrayed as coming from Kazachstan is a bit too much.

Others may find it hilarious--

I ask them-- Why? Is there a ring of truth to it as it portrays a bigoted Kazakhstan person?

Just rubs me the wrong way.
