Great Success!




Borat: [while driving] Look, there is a woman in a car! Can we follow her and maybe make a sexy time with her?
Driving Instructor: No, no, no, no, no, no!
Borat: A-why not?
Driving Instructor: Because a woman has the right to choose who she has sex with.
Borat: [stunned] WHAT...? You joke?
Driving Instructor: It must be consensual. How 'bout that?
Borat: [turns to Instructor, pauses] Ahahahahaha!
Driving Instructor: That's good, huh?
Borat: [pause] Is not good for me.

Hilar.

Borat. Probably one of the best films from 2006. Made huge bucks in the box office. The legal problems it created for for Sasha Baron Cohen, astounding. One of those movies if you're above the age of 30, it would be in your best interest to avoid seeing. It spawned a whole generation of kids who went around trying to imitate Borat's accent, only to fail miserably. What a great movie.

If you haven't seen Borat yet, or have been living under a rock for the past couple of years, I'll give you a brief summary of the movie. First, you have Borat (Sasha Baron Cohen), a news reporter who lives in the poor and run down country of Kazakhstan, and decides to travel to America to make a documentary of American culture. Along the way, Borat finds himself in rather hilarious situations due to cultural differences and such. He also falls in love with Puhmella (Pamela Anderson) and is determined to meet her. That's the movie in a nutshell for ya.

As I was watching Borat for the first time, I wondered if all of this could really be true. Some of the things Borat does are just straight up mind boggling. As I looked deeper into whether the movie was staged or not, I was confronted with more uncertainty, thanks to the silence on the part of the film directors. Though, seeing as how the law suits are real, the movie must have been as well. (Law Suits)

For all of you out there who haven't seen Borat yet, I only have one recommendation for you: Don't watch it with your parents. It's just one of those movies that shouldn't, under any circumstances, be seen in the presence of the parentals. A friend of mine went through this very traumatic experience and told me "It was one of the most awkward things that has ever happened to me" There ya go folks.

Borat: But why California? What's there? Pearl Harbor is there...and so is Texas.
