These people are the hardcore tolerance fanatics sometimes too. They are so tolerant, that they are ready to kill those who don't agree with their style. Tolerance is also lost with them, as in it is not single directional thing. It's not 'you should tolerate me, but I won't tolerate you'.

So it's big pile of crap, and that's why I applaud Borat, and I hope he continues to mess with little minds of people, who get all offended. Who was it that made it so, that people have the right to be not offended anyway? It's like ooh, the biggest thing that can happen, someone getting offended? So what? Big deal.

good job there.. I just think it's pretty stupid, that he is getting these death threats. Surely some of them are simple nutty people, who do that to everyone, but some of them must be genuinely doing it, because they are so upset about his work. It just boggles my mind, how people can be so uptight.

[ConoMadura]

In my country there is problem,
And that problem is transport.
It take very very long,
Because Kazakhstan is big.

Chorus 1
Throw transport down the well (repeat line)
So my country can be free (repeat line)
We must make travel easy (repeat line)
Then we’ll have a big party (repeat line)

Verse 2
In my country there is problem
And that problem is the Jew
They take everybody money
And they never give it back

Chorus 2
Throw the jew down the well (repeat line)
So my country can be free (repeat line)
You must grab him by his horns (repeat line)
Then we have a big party (repeat line)

Verse 3
If you see the Jew coming
You must be carefull of his teeth
You must grab him by his money
And I tell you what to do

(Repeat Chorus 2 twice)

I second the motion, mrmitchell.

Also I should note, that I think the Borat that was on the series, both in the States as well as in Britain, I think that was more funny than the movie. The movie format doesn't sit so well with Borat.

In fact, he overdid the anti-semitism thing in the movie; he hardly did any of that in the British series, and was still funny as hell.

I prefer Ali G, though.

I don't see the appeal of Borat. Nor do I think much of Jackass.

I never liked his work...
I think that although 'celebrities' are by now pretty much without many rights anyway when they speak in public, the same should never be true for non-celebrities, nomatter how pathetic their views are. And conning people in a movie could have very negative effects in their life, if they are the types he is looking out for (ie adolescents with teenage views)

[Bridgester]

Meh, I don't find his style of humor amusing. I mean it has its moments, but not really worth my time mostly.

At least, that was the case in the first movie, which is all I've seen of them. Annoying golfers with airhorns doesn't grate on me like setting up phony interviews and acting like a modern-day minstrel show.

[popandopulus]

Jackass is just stupid, Borat is not.

[Apparpsmose]

Yes, Arrian, baby-on-the-roof is rather crude and doesn't sound funny. However, Jackass also doesn't put on lame "relevant social satire" pretensions. As the title suggests, they are just throwing any semblance of their own dignity or self-respect in the trash for cheap laughs, and don't mind admitting it. I like their honesty, at least. And somehow, their willingness to put themselves through agonizing pain sort of makes up for the relatively mild obnoxiousness to others, in my eyes.

[doksSirmAdods]

Bunch of pussies. Both Jackass and Borat are hilarious.

[BodoidearoLew]

Borat is the epitome of awesome. If one does not find Borat funny, then such a person lacks the ability to recognize awesomeness and is devoid of awesomeness.

Jackass was funny for a little bit, but it got old. Zapping your balls with a taser is only funny so many times.

Borat is funny because he is not only making jokes, but making social, political, and cultural commentary at the same time. I think his points are lost on a lot of people. Also, I think a lot of Americans don't like seeing their own negative qualities exposed, even if it's just a bunch of other ignorant dumbasses that he's making fun of.

[Flalafuse]

Have you ever seen Jackass on MTV?

[Bxbhtjnr]

For me, what it ultimately comes down to is that I don't like this sort of humor. Embarrassment as humor doesn't work for me. Playing pranks on nice, unsuspecting people (Jackass) is not my idea of funny.

As for Borat, I gather it's in the same basic class, but with pretensions of "social commentary." I've never seen it, nor Ali G or whatever.

[anenselog]

I liked Borat movie, some scenes were comedy gold (the naked fight scene for example), but I couldn't understand why he so much emphasized these antisemitism "jokes" which I didn't find funny at all. He's Jewish though, so I guess they are funny to him or he wouldn't have done them.

[Madjostok]

Most people were probably on it, it's hard to not see the big camera in the room.

The guy running away from Borat somewhere in NYC shrieking "go away! go away!" was definitely genuine though
