Hurting Ali G

[Ramo]

Borat

Broadwater: I’m running for United States Congress in District 2.

Borat: He is a strong man. He will crush his opponents and he will be powerful like Stalin and not tolerate people who are bad.

Broadwater: Well, actually, I wouldn’t compare myself to Stalin …

Borat: Will you vote for my friend?

Woman: Well, I probably will, but I don’t ever tell people who I vote for before I vote.

Borat: If you do not vote for him, he will take power!

Woman: Well, it depends on whether he gets enough votes or not.

Borat: I will not leave until you swear on the eyes of your child that you will vote for him.

She did "check the facts." Ali/Cohen provided fake credentials and cooked them pretty well, including setting up the interview through a dummy company. She also didn't volunteer to put "Borat" on the news to begin with...he was having a private interview with some talent for an alleged documentary. The arsewipe then broke loose and ran around the frigging studio, including dashing out in mid-broadcast, as mentioned. And he was escorted by an intern to keep him out of trouble the whole time, he just broke out despite their best efforts. And she'd had no experience with that show, had no idea who the guy was; I think the whole thing keeps working largely because people important enough to be harassed on the show aren't bored enough to bother to watch it. All things considered, she was plenty cautious, and Cohen didn't start acting like a moron until the cameras were rolling.

So what you are telling me is that Ali G. (or whatever his name is) was better at his job than your friend was at hers. My original comment stands.

On the other hand, hes gotten ralph nader, boutros gali, charles manson, the vice-president of the fbi, some astronaut etc tec...
So she is clearly not the first to be fooled and he must have his fooling act well-oiled.

Uh, "his job" is to be a total ******* and embarrass others, often while insulting Muslims with minstrel-show style stereotypes. I don't care how good he is at it, he's still an *******. And decent people shouldn't have to put up with that crap. This is too hurtful and disruptive to be brushed off as a harmless joke. You beg to differ, fine, maybe you're *******s too. Now, would some mod kindly lock this thread?

Actually, the best thing about Borat is that he has a nack for geting people reveal their own bigotry - geting british country club types to talk about gypsies, southern wine tasters to talk about the good ol' days of slavery, and a crowd of rednecks to sing along to his "throw the jew down the well" song, ect...
