Experiencing it strictly as a movie, the “Borat” movie is certainly very funny. The references to Khazakhstan are rude but obviously ridiculous and intentionally unconvincing, I think gov’t officials in that country have said as much themselves.

Of course, we now know that many of Borat’s “victims” are suing the production. “Candid Camera’ played a million pranks on unsuspecting members of the public without causing any controversy - what seems to make “Borat” different is the way the people who are butts of the jokes are meant to represent the (hidden) beliefs of large groups of Americans.

The movie’s appeal also has an ugly undercurrent of snobbery - couldn’t the producers find any suit-wearing Northern urbanites who are secretly racist, sexist or xenophobic?

Finally, in my community, the big problem with “Borat” is how much harder it makes the job of legitimate documentary filmmakers to gain the trust of our subjects.

If Sacha Baron Cohen wanted to be *really* edgy and funny, maybe he should’ve picked Afghanistan, Syria or Iran, and poked fun at radical Islam and the Taliban. There’s plenty of material to make fun of. But would people still be laughing? Or would they be afraid of beheadings?

Some people don’t even find humor in cartoons…

As the movie Obsession shows, there’s nothing funny about hatred for the West.
