The difference between Borat, & Kaufman is that Kaufman never went looking for people to pick on. People had to actually buy tickets to watch him. By the time he became popular people pretty much knew what they were getting into.
Borat on the other hand goes onto a subway, & forces people to participate in something that they would never want to do to begin with. Some of these people are just trying to get home! Not chase a chicken around!
The irony is that while he uses Borat's character to expose the sometimes ignorant american tourists. American's for the most part are at least respectful of the country they are in. They don't go around china scream "Where's the Chink! I need a Chink!". That is pretty much what Borat does.
Borat is not Social Satire. He is a man that is incredibly annoying, & unoriginal. Masked in Hatred, & Stupidity. I hope that more people sue this a-hole, & expose him for what he is.
