What? The film was shown in the U.S. not just Kazakhstan? Thanks to the Drudge Report, we got word that the frat boys from South Carolina in the RV scene (who only received $200 and free drinks for their appearance) were none to happy with how they were portrayed in the movie. Celebrity gossip site TMZ wrote "Borat Lawsuit: High Five!" about the new lawsuit that is actually from two anonymous plaintiffs against 20th Century Fox and One America Productions.
It'll be interesting to see how many of the characters in Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan actually do sue. Are the high society folks in Charleston and Birmingham next? Or will it be the feminists?
I thought the frat scene was just ok. To me, the fact that their hats read South Carolina didn't mean much to me. College kids get drunk and say stupid things. And then do even stupider things. That scene represented a good cross section of American college kids frat or no frat. Oh wait, I better not say that. Someone from the Ivey Leagues, (oops, I mean Ivy, you can tell there's a little too much poker being talked about in these them thar parts) might come over and sue me for including them in such a statement when I know nothing about them. How dare I.
Hey, go see Borat. It sounds like they're going to need more money.
