[...] this is the kind of stuff Sacha Baron Cohen should do, but doesn’t have the guts. He’d prefer to punk and trick good-hearted average middle Americans. But far-lefty, nutcase, anti-Western institutions like the UN, fuhgedaboutit. He doesn’t [...]

Hi Debbie,
I agree with you completely, it is a mean spirited attack on the United States, the only one’s racist are the British themselves and some of the posts on this blog confirm this ó perhaps it’s time to take a tour of UK and go to Plymouth, Blackpool, Hastings, Wigan, Holyhead, Belfast to take the mick out of the United Kingdom? To fInd and exploit the ignorance and stupidity that is with them. That’s what I plan on doing when I finish film school.
Another film I want to do is “Super Size Britain/Europe”
75% of men and 60% of women could be overweight by 2010.

Unfortunately English culture has been degraded to getting a laugh at the expense of others (Borat, Dirty Sanchez, etcÖ) the only way is to fight fire with fire.
We can start filming this summer when everyone is out in their flabby white arse proudly waving their St George Cross flag and move up the country then cross over to N.I. We can show the the reporter going to Belfast saying he supports their war! Or show the fan going to a Wrestle-mania show in Birmingham
We can shoot everything on DV and send it to every film festival!
You are the true genius. Sascha is an idiot!

I agree with you that “the joke’s on America”, but that’s mostly the fault of Americans. People aren’t merely DEPICTED as racists and bigots, they SAY racist, bigoted things, all by themselves. He doesn’t ask them to speak in tongues– if that’s ridiculous, well that’s not Cohen’s fault for showing it. If you’re disgusted by this movie, then you should be combating the kinds of attitudes it documents.
Finally, to correct a pretty key fact you misstate here, when Borat says “We support your War OF Terror.” the people at the rodeo CHEER– they don’t boo until he starts singing to the tune of the US national anthem.

Obscenity and the use of sexual molestation on naive persons appears to be much in use by Cohen-Borat. His utter contempt for human beings tells us a great deal about his twisted mind.
On the opening of the concentration camps in 1945, a careful documentation was made of two persons. They were Ilse Koch and Irma Griese. Two female camp guards.
They had subjected helpless weakened prisoners to every kind of sexual abuse. They had attempted to degrade and dehumanise these poor people. The two women were photographed and one could take a good look.
An psychiatric evaluation was made of WHAT THEY HAD BECOME.
We were told at that time, that anyone who degrades and humiliates helpless people do indeed
BECOME DEGRADED THEMSELVES. They become as animals
devoid of human pity,
Alas, people do not learn.
