Thank God.
I hope it will last.

A big cheer for Borat....

I heard on the radio that the guy who plays Borat in the movie decided to be his Borat character on the street and said a smart remark to a woman (on the street) and he got knocked around a bit for it.
Frankly I would not go see that movie. From the previews I didn't see anything to do with political correctness or not, it was just crude.

i am most certainly down with Borat because although the movie is rather crude, it does reveal some levels of prejudice in the American people. For instance, there is a scene were Borat is speaking at a rodeo and says 'May gwb drink the blood of all of the men, women, and children of Iraq" and the few thousand people at the rodeo cheered.

It's actually very PC to bash regular Americans and make them look like dumb, zombie rednecks. Why do you think the media went nuts over it? BTW, I've been a Borat fan since season one of Ali G.

Teaching ppl to be sensitive to others is a healthy thing.
Using terminology that is of a negative tone is detrimental. For example, I can't stand to hear the phrase, "runs like a girl." unless it is actually about someone running I guess. But most of the time it is referring to running away like a coward. That always ticks me off when I believe women have more courage than men when it comes for standing up and fighting for what we believe in at all cost.
With all that said though, it can be taken to the extreme. And I have no clue what has happen to the phrase, "sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me."
That teaches us to let negative things bounce off us and that we choose to let somebody's elses opinion of us hurt us or not. We seem to have lost that mentality.

I totally agree with your assesment.
He isn't funny to me, he's strange, and he is anti-semitic.
I'm down with Borat.

Yes, and anti-semetic Jew. Let's see the ACLU tackle that one! Hah!
(Borat actor is Jewish in real life)

... it's a comedy... therefore... it's meant to be funny...
not recall political correctness...
that's where the comedy comes from... the fact that it's not PC... it wouldn't be funny if it was a political statement...
