Ahh, the newest trailer for 'Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan' - to give its full name - promises it to be comedy gold:

i see there was a major malfunction at the premiere of it in the US...the projector broke down and michael moore tried to fix it because thats what he used to do for a living
I've seen a few clips so far from the Borat movie...and it's A LOT more offensive than usual.
From what I've seen so far, he's (accidentally) broken a bunch of antiques in an antique shop, seriously pissed off a couple feminists, made a slew of mean spirited anti-jewish jokes, and introduced the town rapists and whores in his village.
Now I'm sure there's a lot of Borat lovers that have just gotten on the bandwagon and think he's hilarious, and he has done some funny stuff in the past (some of it bordering on offensive...the anti-jewish/sexist stuff), now though he's turned it up to 11 and just being plain rude...and pissing people off isn't that funny.
...and if you do find that junk funny then you should check your head.

Well, good for you I guess...most other jewish people (and khazakstani of course) would disgree with you. It's not about whether it's funny, it's about whether it's ethical.
You're a prime example of someone who just doesn't get the joke.

How in the world would you know if I get the joke or not. How would you know how long I've been watchin' Borat and Ali G. How in the world would you know that I wasn't planing on being Borat this Halloween (got the voice down pat and everything).
You've just made a baseless assumption not knowing a single thing about me or my sense of humour...
Welll here's an assumption about you (and others)...
- You've just found out about Ali G (and Borat) maybe in the past couple years and you think it's some cool new thing that not a lot of people (outside of the UK) know about, so you're all behind the buzz to show how "down" you are.
- You can't get enough of this humour (where unsuspecting people fall victim to a stupid reporter)...though you might've been getting kinda bored of it if you've been watching for over 5 years like myself.
- You think it would be the uncoolest thing in the world to pan something that EVERYONE finds funny...heaven forbind, people might think you're a prude!
- Oh and here's one more assumption...you probably have very little in the department of values or ethics, considering you haven't at all taken into account what I've posted.
...gosh I'm good!
Soory, I'm being harsh only to prove a point. You shouldn't make assumptions. But one thing is true...if there were any real Ali G fans in here they'd know exactly the kind of bandwagon jumper types like you guys I'm talking about.
