Give me your tears gypsy or I will take them from you!

Sasha Baron Cohen is pure genius in his movie Borat. Sasha goes undercover and fools many Americans by pretending he is a foreign news reporter from Kazakhstan named Borat who comes to America to make a documentary to bring back to his people for "educational" matters. However, this comedian takes full advantage and puts several naive Americans in very awkward situations. Knowing that these Americans are completely unaware that they are getting pranked is what makes the movie that much funnier. Along his journey across America Borat learns many things, like telling jokes, a lesson from the hip hop culture, and meets a "gypsy" at a garage sale. Most of the movie was improv, however some of it was planned. One the best parts of the movie with Pamela Anderson was planned but it absolutely makes the movie. Even though the movie was hysterical, did he go to far? Some of his victims say yes. This very controversial film lead to Sasha getting sued by many of the unsuspecting "victims." One case that I find to be hysterical is that the frat boys in the film brought a lawsuit against him for "embarrasing them." Hey, I get that you're embrassed that you got wasted and said women should be sex slaves but they had no reason to sue. These guys are idiots in my opinion. They signed release forms giving them permission to use the footage in a documentary, if they didn't ask for more details that's their own fault. With no surprise they lost their lawsuit. These "victims" need to get over and just realize that Sasha Baron Cohen is without a doubt a comedic genius and managed to prank America!
