...I saw Borat over the weekend, and I'm amazed that people would be offended by this movie. I mean, first of all, the actor himself [Sacha Baron Cohen] is Jewish. So all the 'Jew jokes' are basically... poking fun at himself. I mean, I'm sure I wouldn't be offended if I were Jewish. Second of all, all the other 'potentially offensive' material in the movie was provided by the actual people in the movie. Real people stating their opinions. The movie was supposedly 'unscripted', right? That is one of the things that made it interesting. So why are people complaining about this movie? Did the 'offensive' material really overpower the comedic content? I thought it was still pretty funny. So, did anyone find this movie truly offensive? [I'm just curious]...
