2. Borat is my hero. I wish we could sell that prostitute madonna to him so he could force the bitch into a burqa.

3. To L. A.
I dunno, maybe a sense of the absurb.
He likes to push the boundaries of what is considered "good taste". Anybody willing to go after those self important people in Hollywood and hold them up to ridicule, PLUS invent a whole fake country is piss your pants funny.

6. WTF!!! This loser is not even funny and so talentless that it blows my mind that the media is all over him and I'd like to know what stupid production company gave him the greenlight to create that piece of sh*t movie. In fact to touch on the whole Madonna joke, that is so not called for. He is making fun of her for adopting
a child from Africa and mentioning that he should get a kid and paint his face with chocolate and sell him....thats racist!! And with this whole fiasco, what do you think Borat is doing with his comments, he is milking the media to get publicity.
It seems that anyone with a camera, a weak script and the ability to act like a fool for a few cheap laughs, have a career in Hollywood.

7. zsa-zsa,

Borat is not a weirdo, he is a character played by comedian Sacha Baron Cohen (he also played the French race car driver in Talladega Nights recently) who also played Ali G. He puts himself in real situations, where people don't know he is an actor, and hilarity ensues. The quotes above don't do him justice - check out youtube for some clips.

Kazakhstan is a real country. It's not made up.

You are missing what satire is. Most people cannot understand satire, which can be funny, but does not have to be.

Personally, I love Cohen and his characters. I love satire.

I am sorry you don't get it, but unfortunately you are the majority in this country.

10. Dear AK:
Calm the fu*ck down buddy, we all know you are very, very intelligent!
Please see the post about "Satire" in re the "fake" country of Kazakhstan. Maybe you could check wikipedia for what satire is. Maybe you could realize that not everything concerning celebrities and Hollywood is Life or Death serious. Have some enjoyment in your life, drink a beer, smoke a doobie, JO...something. LIGHTEN UP ALL YOU ANAL RETENTIVE FU*CKS! My goodness next thing you'll be saying that Madonna adopted some little African boy out of the goodness of her heart, when we all know she doesn't have one!
Thanks for sharing and being so concerned with the TRUTH!

11. Wikipedia...isn't that the website where anybody can make up shit, and other people can delete it if they want to? Just curious.

Are you sure about that? I don't know my friends dad worked for the CIA and he said that after the fall of the Soviet Union there was like all these countries where there didn't use to be any.

13. This guy's a complete asshole. He' s crude, mean spirited, ugly, and should be dragged through the streets like the fucking dog he is.

14. I am amazed that the US and A really has people like the ones on this board. Foolish, bigoted and humourless.

But then again, I have seen the Borat flick, so maybe I shouldn't be that surprised.
