6. Frightening how many sang along with apparent glee...
...although the cowboys that weren't laughing might've been thinking Borat was an Eye-racky.:scared:

9. I don't think they did
know it was a joke. They looked like they were enjoying themselves.

Anti Semitism is very much alive in society. I'd say the show was doing a good job of exposing it.

10. I'd believe that
if there were hidden cameras. Those people knew...some looked surprised for a moment and then joined along...I'm not defending them but of course when taping stopped, the producers had those people sign a release form to appear on the comedy program showed on HBO.:shrug:

11. The whole Borat gag is predicated
on him being an Uzbeki TV show host--thus the cameras. And you don't need releases if the people won't be identifiable.

13. British
The Ali G Show is by a Brit and a British production company. And they don't need to give any other reason than "we were hired to help Borat shoot his show in the US."

I know that not all rednecks hate jews...and that a lot of the crowd was clearly uncomfortable. But you can hear a couple voices from the crowd--one woman in particular--who really got into the chorus.

Hilarious, regardless.

17. I agree with both points. There was also the one in the South
where they are tasting wine. When Borat noticed the African-American waiter pouring the wine for the group, he asked if they had slaves.
"Not anymore," the Southern country-clubber said.
"That's good," replied Borat.
"It's good for them," countered the country-clubber. (ouch)

19. Freepers are so easily led into racism it's disgusting
I doubt most of them knew it was a joke, and probably most of them didn't even realize that singing a song about throwing Jews down a well would be racist.
