Borat.....

[Loosehead]

I watched Borat the other night, not great but amusing enough. I'm amazed this hasn't come up in the media generally but I was quite taken back by the quasi anti Jewish stuff. I'm amazed there wasn't an uproar when it came out as there usually is when religion is involved. Now can someone verify that Cohen is in fact Jewish? The film company was billed as "Four by two films"!

Just wondered what every one thought of this hugely self deprecating film. Did I miss the point entirely? Can you imagine the the efect if it was Islam?

Where have you been? I expect you have been busy using your crayons:

Baron Cohen IS jewish, but the film got an award in New York - surprised?

Yes you did miss the point entirely.

Ok genius, what point did I miss?

I think you did miss the point.

Have you watched Blazing Saddles, it's making a mockery of racist views by being racist.

Rather along the same lines as Matt Lucas 'only gay in the village' or in fact any Little Britain sketch.

Ok thanks, I see now.
