Borat
Friday, November 10, 2006
I actually heard someone say they found Borat offensive because of its portrayal of Kazakhstanis. Let's get this straight. Borat is a British movie poised between two completely fictionalized third-world countries: Kazakhstan and the United States. Whereas another fictional third-world country, Mordor, has a religion and an economy exclusively devoted to molten lava, the two countries portrayed in the Borat movie are democracies whose religion and economy are devoted to unusual amounts of sodomy. Being a democracy in alignment with one or both (or all three) of these countries, Britain is suitably worried. Hence Borat, a really hilarious movie.
