Most americans make fools out of themselves and to have someone come into their country and make fools of them does not make them happy. Bush has made the Americans look so stupid over the years and Borat hasn't come close to doing as much damage as Bush.
Shouldn't Bush be getting the boot

Sacha Baron Cohen is a british comedian but I don't know why in particular that would attract any more lawsuits. I think the lawsuits have been brought by people who realise just how foolish they were to take him seriously as a character. It all seems a bit like a case of suing for injured pride.

No . The state prosecutor in Hamburg, Germany, filed a complaint against Mr. Cohen, accusing him of slander, inciting violence against the Sinti and Roma gypsy groups, and violating Germany's anti-discrimination law.[15]
Two fraternity men featured in the movie have filed an anonymous complaint against corporations and persons affiliated with Mr. Cohen in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, California, for fraud, rescission of contract, common law false light, statutory false light, appropriation of likeness, and negligent infliction of emotional distress. [16] One of the plaintiffs has been revealed as Justin Seay, a graduate of the University of South Carolina and former Vice President of the Chi Psi Fraternity. [17] On December 11 2006, an L.A. Judge denied the pair a restraining order to remove them from the film. [26]
Cindy Streit, the owner of Etiquette Training Service in Birmingham, Alabama, has claimed mistreatment and fraud after "Borat" attended a dinner party and subjected her and the other guests to "ridicule and humiliation". Ms. Streit has hired attorney Gloria Allred, who is demanding an investigation by the California attorney general. Allred says her client agreed to be filmed as part of a documentary for Belarus television, and for those purposes only. She is asking the attorney general to consider all appropriate relief, including a percentage of the profits from the film. 20th Century Fox denied the claims and stated that there was nothing in writing about only being shown in Belarus; they also asserted that the release form clearly stated the footage could be distributed worldwide.

no, i think its because the ppl regret what they said after they signed the release form. there are always consequences to what ever u do. they spoke as many of ppl do, with out thinking first.

I think it is because people are stupid. They want to gain something for nothing. It's crazy how people are suing others for anything.

No, I think the lawsuits are because he successfully made stupid people look stupid...and everyone got to see it.

no, it's because people want to make big money because they weren't smart enough when they met him. i think they deserve this and they shouldn't win the lawsuits
