OK, I know it's a couple of years old but I saw it today...eventually. I'm interested to hear what people made of it, especially you Americans (from the U S and A....niice:D )
I mean, for all the slapstick, there was some pretty disturbing stuff along the way....those Christians for example :o
Anyone.......?
I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    Borat: What kind of dog is this?
    Zookeeper: It's a tortoise.
    Borat: Is it a cat in a hat?
    Zookeeper: No... it's a tortoise in a shell.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I enjoyed it although I thought the humor would have even more of a political slant. I mean, some of the jokes had good political barbs but it was also a lot of dick jokes. Nothing wrong with a good dick joke or anything, I was just expecting something a little smarter.

    you could view it as one of the lowest levels of humour.
    or you could view it as a very clever means to get the reactions he was after.
    but it was all worth it to see those asshole fratboys caught on camera & shown to millions of people worldwide :)

    I know someone who was so desperate to got to the Reading Festival (big music festival here in the UK) and he was so poor, that he got people to 'sponsor' him to wear the mankini around Reading! His tackle was apparently flying all over the place in mosh-pits! Brave man!

    when the rugby sevens world circuit comes through wellington in feb of every year the city goes a bit nuts. it's more like a giant fancy dress party with 35,000 people and a bit of sport in the background. anyway, they had to ban people from wearing the mankini because of distressed children & families complaining

    Come on folks, those Christians...is that a common thing there really? I found it very disturbing.

    I found the dinner party amusing...."In my country the men would go crazy for these two....not so much that one" :D

    I mostly thought it was dumb... however, there were some parts that made me crack up. One being where they found out they are staying in some Jewish people's house and he says into the camera. "I am in nest of Jews!" Then they think the Jewish people transformed into rats and they start throwing money at them :D

    Also, the line at the rodeo... "May George Bush drink the blood of every man, woman and child in Iraq"

    !!!!

    Also, just him making terrible driving mistakes.
