Students Sue 'Borat' Over Porn Flick

[Cheese]

Two students are suing the makers of the new Borat film after allegedly getting them drunk and making them watch a Pamela Anderson porn video.

Sue Borat

Yeah, he really looked like the one encouraging them in the movie.... I don't know how they can even accuse him of that when everything is right there on film. They're probably just trying to save face with their friends and family for looking like idiots in a very popular movie.

What a precedent this could set. Imagine being able to sue for drinking and watching porn. Almost every man on the planet would be lining up to call their lawyers. (Once the porn is done of course)

I think it's actually an interesting case that will determine quite a lot about artistic freedom in the US. My take is that it comes down to the fact that the students did not give informed consent to be filmed and ridiculed in Borat, but rather thought they were in a foreign film. Being drunk when signing is also an issue, but secondary IMO. I assume this lawsuit and others were expected when this movie was being made.

They're just embarassed that their racist comments were shown.

These are the guys who mention that they think slavery should be brought back, correct?

Plus they were the most offensively idiotic people in the movie.

This is why I'm never going down to the southern states.

Or when they have a free hand........

So funny. They look like idiots so now they want to sue the movie for showing the world how idiotic they are. Know what guys? You're still idiots....

Heh, serves those guys right. Though honestly, in this day and age, people seem to be able to at least attempt to sue over just about anything, its getting ridiculous.

The funny thing is this story is now front page news. Good ol' Borat's flavor-of-the-week status just got changed to "flavor-of-two-weeks".

Ah, the not so secret life of frats. I wonder if he had to edit out the footage of them giving each other blowjobs.
