Borat write thesis. It niiiice

With apologies to the blog owner, here’s an alternative take on this Borat business from the Christian Science Monitor:

Sacha Baron Cohen’s crude Kazakh journalist may have originated in a dissertation on the ‘Black-Jewish alliance’ in 1960s America.

    It’s Borat’s appalling treatment of the villagers that I find noxious. Maybe’s he’s taken his role a bit too much to heart.

    Film Threat’s Frigid 50 sums it up

    The Frigid 50 is a written declaration of who or what in Hollywood needs a reality check, detailing the least-powerful, least-inspiring, least-intriguing people in all of Tinseltown. Before celebrities fall off the face of the Earth, they get one warning, and the Frigid 50 is it.

    3. Borat

    How can the top box office winner for two straight weeks be on the Frigid 50 already? Simple: there’s no future for Borat. The surprise-faux-documentary filmmaking style won’t work a second time, the participants of the first film keep bringing lawsuits and Borat has gone from cute and misunderstood to recognizable and annoying, even getting physically assaulted in NYC after his “Saturday Night Live” taping.
