Thanks V. Maybe I'm not totally nuts on this.

i haven't seen the movie so i can't really judge, but the clips and trailers i have seen aren't really that funny. they don't motivate me to hand over $8 for a ticket and $3,374 for popcorn and pop.

then again, i think ben stiller is the single most UN funny person american followed closely by jerry seinfeld... so maybe my sense of humor is lacking something.

The Kazakhstan isn't the only one upset....

From here..

Quote:
Want to sue the makers of "Borat"? With participants in the hit film claiming they were duped into appearing in the movie and now considering legal action, potential plaintiffs had better form a line. Two fraternity brothers from a South Carolina university are among the early litigants, saying they were tricked into making racist and sexist remarks in the spoof documentary "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan," which has been the top film at the box office for two straight weeks, racking up $67.8 million in ticket sales.
So, like Mel Gibson, another racial incident blamed on alcohol.
