Firstly, no, I wouldn't have the same impression. Because I have the capacity to laugh something off instead of attempting to silence anything I personally find objectionable. Secondly, no one made you watch the movie. If you don't want to watch it, then don't. Just don't come pushing your guilt trip on me because I laugh when something is funny.

I think it looks stupid, and I heard it was flat out bad comedy.

Are you kidding? The rodeo. The antique store. The drunken frat boys. Half of this movie was fat patriotic Americans.

Agreed.

If something's genuinely done to put down a group, then it's bad. But if it's done to MOCK those putting them down, I don't see a problem with it.

Personally, I want to go see this.

Holy shit, I though it was you! I just thought you'd changed your signature and didn't think much of it. Weird.

The movie makes retards think that anti-semitism is acceptable, and that "I don't really mean it since I have a Jewish friend" is a legitimate excuse for said comments.

Sorry to say it Ravnz, but I lmao'd.

They call satire "laughter with knives" for a reason, as can be seen reading through this thread...

I am a big fan of all of Sacha Baren Cohen's TV shows/films. I went to go see the movie the day after it came out and I loved it, I was cracking up the whole movie. Part of the movie though is that none of it is staged, and Sacha is Jewish himself. I also found it funny because I am Jewish aswell, so I could laugh at most of those jokes (And even if I couldn't, they were so damn funny I had to laugh anyway:P)

Peaople are taking this movie too serisouly (not specifically talking to you Ravn), he's a comedian, not a facist :?

Also about all the suing: He won't loose he, really can't. Infact, the movie contract for Borat was the longest and most specefic move contract that movies have seen because they expected this to happen.

Very nice, chenkque,
Doc

The Pamela Anderson part was actually staged.

Yea, Pam anderson knew abut the whole thing. But those drunken frat boys didnt, and they tried to sue the company when they found out they were going to be in a movie. :o

I didn't see the movie as a whole; I've only seen small segments of it.

Regardless. Go see the movie and then state your opinion on it.
Right now you just sound like a book burner who never bothered to read the book.
