Borat sued again!

[Whirlysplat]

Well now the Romanian villagers apparently felt that they were tricked by Borat (Or Sasha Cohen) the whole case is here in this Daily Mail Article but here's a few excerpts:

Only when The Mail on Sunday visited him did he find out. He said he was ashamed, confessing that he only agreed to be filmed because he hoped to top up his £70-a-month salary - although in the end he was paid just £3.

You know if this article is factually accurate I feel genuinely sorry for these people, and I agree that they've been abused. I mean I don't feel any sympathy whatsoever for those idiot fratboys (then again who ever feels sympathy for fratboys) but this is... gives me a bad taste in the mouth for having laughed at those scenes from the village...

I just kind of assumed that they were playing along, and that they got paid properly for what they did...

Then again I can't be sure what the truth is, but still...

Read the whole article . There's a lot more here but I picked those to excerpts at random. They seemd representitive.

Huge Lorley? I feel sorry for the guy but get the facts before you agree to something. I"m sure if he asked they would have lied but if they didn't?

Borat gets punched

Not everyone sees the funny side to Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat character and one man in particular really doesn't find him amusing.

So much so, that he punched Baron Cohen in the face.

The comedian approached the stranger in New York and told him 'I like your clothings. Are nice! Please may I buying? I want have sex with it.'

But the man failed to get the joke and instead launched an attack on Baron Cohen.

He had to be rescued by fellow Brit Hugh Laurie, who he was on his way to a bar with the comedian, after appearing on Saturday Night Live together.

Studio bosses behind the Borat film have now supposedly asked Baron Cohen not to go out in public dressed as the Kazakhstan reporter.

[Master Chief]

Haha, yes, House saved Borat!

 

[enterthemadness]

Is he a wimp? You get punched, you punch or kick back. Don't see how he would have gotten in trouble. Would have been self defense.

But he should also know better...it's just a movie. Why stay in character? I don't even understand why he's in character for interviews on talk shows.

 

[The Last Meatbag]

Jesus, those New Yorkers are on edge, whenever he said hi to them in the movie, they told him to get the **** away.....

Am I the only one that doesnt see the humor in this character???

When I first saw the previews I thought it looked lame. These news articles just add more disgust on top of the lamage.

 

[Cyclops]

You know what? It's JUST a ****ING MOVIE. Everyone in that movie signed contracts. If they didn't read those contracts, the film's producers cannot be held accountable.

BING BING BING ! CORRECT!!!! Johnny, tell him what he's won!

Johnny: He's won diddly squat! but his post was "very nice"

 

[roach]

did they sign contracts????

 

[jaydawg]

Even if they didn't, he was portraying Kazakhstan, not Romania. Cry me a river. I don't ***** every time someone asks me if Greek people use Windex.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

Haha, yes, House saved Borat!

I knew I wasn't the only one who found that amusingt:

 

[Tangled Web]

I knew I wasn't the only one who found that amusingt:

Very nice!

 

[Dew k. Mosi]

And he made New Yorkers look violent, the south look bigotted and college student look drunk. They aren't all like that, but enough are that it is funny.

 

[Dew k. Mosi]

I knew I wasn't the only one who found that amusingt:

Yum! That is a HOT picture of Hugh.

 

[Ghostvirus]

I really hope that he get punched in the face many, many, many more times. This man is hack.

I don't know that he did. I think he was obnoxious and he got a response. That is what it was most of the time. He acted like a fool, and got treated like one. It's just that everything he did (like inviting hookers over, naked wrestling, wearing a thong bikini, kissing dudes, making rude comments to women) was hysterical.

I would agree it doesn't take a whole lot of talent to do what he does. I mean someone like Colbert actually has that method of making you incriminate yourself by him agreeing with you...that takes talent.

Sure, it's simplistic compared to Andy Kaufman. But his pranks are still funny, and that's the point.

 

[Dew k. Mosi]

yeah the movie hurt me, I laughed so hard

 

[Axid]

What is up with it, vanilla face?

It's been my experience that....New Yorkers, Southerners, AND College students...are violent, bigoted, and drunks..... t:
