I once interested a friend in seeing
Borat! Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, and she
flat-out refused to.
Not knowing why, I proceeded with the film and had to stop it in five minutes to find out online if lawsuits were
indeed filed. Many had been by various groups. Reluctantly, I went back in and finished the rest.
It's the most monumentally offensive movie I've seen in my life. Nothing was funny.
The following is a true story. When I was in junior high, there were three boys who liked to crack really,
really lame but harmless jokes. One day, they took their antics too far that were Borat-esque which
persisted for a while. Students became sick of them, and finally, the authorities had it and decided to do
something. They stopped, but their reputations were forever ruined. Nobody wanted anything to do
with them. As a result, they disappeared into oblivion during high school. To this day, I cannot remember
their names.
Sacha Baron Cohen is a Jewish. That gives him the license to mock his own religious group. Instead of what
I saw in the film, I want him to go to Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, Dachau, or Treblinka and pull the exact
same shit in front of everybody. He won't do it because he is gutless. I want him to go to any Muslim city
in the Arab world and insult everybody. He won't do it because he knows he'll be lynched. I want him to go
to any black city in the United States and call everybody a "nigger." He won't do it because he knows he'll
be killed within one minute.
All in all, Borat Sagdiyev is the definition of a tier three sex offender who belongs in prison for life.
