Funny or racist?

Do tell. Explain why.

Or don't.

Whatever fancies your tickle.

I never saw it. But from what I've heard of it; I'm amazed the Kazakstanianitenesses haven't killed the actor yet. o_O Honestly; I don't think that people should take such offence, though, I mean...WHY CAN'T ANYONE LAUGH AT THEMSELVES ANYMORE?!

Started watching it but never got to finish it, half because it was DIRTY and second because my dad taped it and watching it with him was a TAD bit uncomfortable. Seems a bit racist but meh anything you say anymore is racist these days. I'm trying to figure out how Sacha Baron Cohen was even able to make the movie and get it produced but it was freakin hilarious! That I saw of it.

I didn't find it particularly either one lol. I wouldn't necessarily call it racist, because it was so obviously over the top a ridiculous joke and they were more poking fun at the stereotypes than the cultures themselves. I didn't find it all that funny though. I laughed at times, but I wouldn't see it again. I guess that kind of humour just isn't my thing. Give me Talladega Nights and I'll laugh for hours, but Borat just didn't do it for me.

I decided to leave Broat well alone. Not my type of humour at all.

I have heard people saying the "my name-a Borat; and theese is my con-tree." thing.
