I finally saw "Borat" yesterday....
Advertisements [?]
Unbelievably crude and offensive, but offensive in a satirical way that points out some ugly truths about America. The scene at the rodeo, in which the crowd cheers for the destruction of Iraq and the man tells him he looks too much like a Mooos-lim, is hilariously funny but tremendously sad at the same time. Same with the mysoginistic, paranoid of minorities frat boys traveling cross country. Americans caught in the act of being themselves - sometimes it's not too pretty. :scared:
