1. If your think that the remarks that Borat makes are funny you either:

a. Are Jewish and get the joke (that there's an actor behind Borat who is goading his interviewees into revealing their bigotries).

b. Are not Jewish but get the joke of irony.

c. Are not Jewish, don't get the joke, but you're a bigot.

2. If you think Borat is not only not funny, but he's offensive and dangerous you either:

a. Don't get the joke.

b. Get the joke but think other people are too stupid to get the joke.

c. Are being interviewed by him.

Fired from his Eurotrash TV show Funkyzeit , the eponymous, gay Austrian fashionista goes west to become a "straight" star "like Tom Cruise". En route, he adopts an African "gayby ...

  • John Mayer - Battle StudiesRolling Stone3 days ago

    Artist: John Mayer Review: John Mayer — what a curious case. As a pop personality, the guy's a barrel of laughs. He's a tabloid fixture who wears his celebrity with a wink: modeling Borat's onesie swimsuit, starring in goofy YouTube videos, and generally disarming, with wit and self-deprecation, the millions inclined to hate a starlet-shagging guitar virtuoso. But then Mayer steps into a studio ...

I guess you didn't see him when he was in your part of the country :-)

it was weird. I had never heard of him and then suddenly his name started appearing in my daily news reading a couple of months ago, like instant fame.

it happens like that, right? i had never heard of him and Ronald showed me the Ali G Show and the whole experience was so shocking and liberating. I didn't know what to make of him, but something inside me was wondering if he was Jewish, and he was. So it's like a big, fat in-joke...

not sure, but I admit to knowing who ali g is. "Ali G in da house" movie. very cute. :)

I think that in the context of "The Ali G Show " it's much easier to comprehend Borat, who appears in the context of the show, interviewing people under journalistic pretenses, pretending to be clueless and eliciting shock, awe and sometimes, the best and worst of humanity. yes, cute.

Just be sure to stay away from the Evil Eye, having a crucifix from Holy Land may help.
