Dumbasses v. Borat

After I saw Borat (the best movie ever!) I knew it was only a matter of days before the lawsuits would start flowing. The movie is about Borat's travels through the US and A and he exposes the reality of peoples true feelings about Jews, racism and other 'sensitive' topics.

There is a scene where Borat is on an RV with a bunch of frat boys and they are all quite drunk. The boys are saying derogatory statements about Jews,women and blacks (much of which is pretty funny). Now that the movie has been released and their immature behavior was publicized for the world to see, they are suing Borat and Fox for humiliation and embarrassment etc. I hope this suit is dismissed as a frivolous lawsuit because they are adults and it's only because their shameful behavior became public that they are bringing suit. The law does not provide a remedy for stupidity! They claim that they were told that the movie would not be shown in the US. Does it make a difference where the film is shown? These kids were acting like a bunch of idiotic frat boys - period! Now, they probably have careers and scholarships on the line - so all of the sudden they care. They should have not said anything that they were going to be ashamed of. There is something called personal responsibility. These kids need to take responsibility for the words that came out of their mouths and not blame it on alcohol or misinformation from Borat.

The whole point of Borat is to expose fools like these boys. This was a great social experiment and I hope and pray the legal system won't f**k it up for Borat or any other geniuses who have other such projects.

Here is a copy of the complaint. It's actually pretty funny! I like!
