November 11, 200619 yr And here's our first lawsuit: Borat Lawsuit -- High Five!!! Posted Nov 9th 2006 7:26PM by TMZ Staff Filed under: Celebrity Justice, Movies How's this for the beginning of a lawsuit filed today in Los Angeles County Superior Court? -- "Sacha Baron Cohen is a prankster."Click to view documents Two anonymous plaintiffs are suing 20th Century Fox and One America Productions, claiming members of their college fraternity were interviewed to become part of the smash "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan" film. The plaintiffs -- listed as John Doe 1 and John Doe 2 -- were allegedly assured the film would not be shown in the U.S. and their identities would not be revealed. They were both selected to appear in the movie and, according to the suit, taken "to a drinking establishment 'to loosen up' and provided alcoholic beverages." They claim they signed the movie releases after "heavy drinking." The suit claims both men were then taken to a motor home where they were filmed, all the while "encouraged to continue drinking." The movie features a scene in a motor home where Cohen gets drunk with three frat boys who go on a racist rant about how they wished they had slaves and how minorities in the United States "have all the power." According to the lawsuit, the frat boys only received $200 for the controversial appearance. The plaintiffs claim they suffered "humiliation, mental anguish, and emotional and physical distress, loss of reputation, goodwill and standing in the community..." because the movie was indeed released in the U.S. The suit asks for unspecified damages. Calls to 20th Century Fox were not immediately returned. Source Pretty obvious who the two "anonymous" frat boys are. BTW, gotta love the poll on the article: "Are the frat boys lame for suing?" Out of 46,250 votes, 82% says yes.
November 11, 200619 yr I just saw it tonight for the first time.....Amazing. I've never, EVER, laughed so hard in a movie. Ever.
November 12, 200619 yr I liked it. I'm a fan of the show, so of course I liked this. Maybe I was too hyped for it because it wasn't as hysterical as I hoped for but definitely worth the viewing.

November 15, 200619 yr Google cache of the fat douche on the RV in Borat: http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:qTca9E...lient=firefox-a Yes, that is his home phone number, cell phone, and e-mail address. :lol
November 15, 200619 yr I assume. He'd be an idiot not to. Although he's an idiot to have his MySpace account name be his actual name and display that information so prominently.
