I promise not to start talking like Borat in all my posts the way JC Samsonite has been doing. In his defense it was a very funny movie and he is constantly looking for the next famous person to model his entire life after.

I left Borat wondering exactly which parts were staged and which ones weren't. Obviously the bit with Pamela Anderson was staged (sorry to burst anybody's bubble...) and I have to think the horse falling over was to. But what about the convenient frat guys on the bus? Or the extremely poised hooker who lived in the storybook cottage?

I've found some interesting articles.

This one is all about how the producer of the mid-day news program Borat appeared on (the one where he kept interrupting the weatherman) got fired because of Borat's appearance.

This one explores whether folks who showed up in Borat's movie, unaware of what it actually was, could possibly sue.

This one explains that the frat guys were real, but were "set up" by the film makers.

And this one gets in the straight poop from folks who appeared in the movie, like the car salesman and the bigot from the rodeo. Funny stuff.


i must say i think the frat boys were definitely "keepin' it real."

pam anderson was definitely scripted.

i'm not sure about the horse.

but that etiquette dinner in the deep south could not have been funnier if it were scripted.  


I think the dinner wasn't scripted, but I think the prositute was setup.

The frat guys were just being themselves, and I don't they'll be getting any dates anytime soon.

Pam....definitely scripted.

Kids running to the ice cream truck where the bear scared them...scripted.

Ian sent me a link about how some dude is claiming that he is the character that Baron Cohen stole. I'll find the article.  


that was sooo yesterday's news. pretty funny though.  


Actually, it was last week's news. I just posted it the other day.

This just in....you're gay.
