Borat Still Pissing People Off Everywhere
First off, two college freshman who are featured in the movie, ‘Borat’ have claimed that their squeaky clean reputations were tarnished after boozing it up onscreen and flinging racial & sexist slurs around freely.
The men were pushing for their scenes to be deleted from the DVD version, but Judge Joseph S. Biderman ruled that they had failed to meet the standard for a preliminary injunction. Heh.
The men claimed that they were lured with the alcohol and were told that the film wouldn’t air in the US.
Now why would that make much of a difference? So people you knew couldn’t see you being an ass? But if they were strangers, better yet, foreigners, the behavior would be okay?
Idiots.
Morons like these who sue other people should be counter sued for stupidity.
Now there is a guy in South Carolina who has filed suit against ‘Borat’.
This one is a little more legitimate in my opinion.
Another man, also filmed for ‘Borat’, says the deleted scenes of him in a bathroom stall were broadcast on the internet and cable TV. Borat leers over the wall of the stall to peek at the man. The incident took place at an upscale restaurant
"He is embarrassed and humiliated and leaves the restaurant," Columbia attorney Jonathan Milling said Tuesday. He also says that there were no visible cameras in the bathroom when the incident took place and that his client did not sign anything nor had he been paid anything.
The man was only told it was a documentary for tourism in South Carolina. WTF? He also stated that his client has been recognized by many of his friends and peers on the internet.
Other defendants include web sites YouTube, Google and Comedy Central.
The man is asking for compensation for embarrassment he’s suffered and has asked the deleted scene be removed from web sites and not included in any DVD release.
Can you blame him?
