I'm referring to this scene:
Borat: [indicates women beside him] In my country, they would go crazy for these two.
[points to minister's wife]
Borat: This one... not so much...
I've never been accused of having a temper, but that scene made me angry.
To say that to someone as a joke...unforgivable.
How odd, I had to stop watching because I was in tears of laughter and fell out of my seat during that particular scene.

I find this film hilarious in places and am certainly no prude when it comes to comedy, but I do agree this scene was pretty cruel on the woman, and I probably cringe more than laugh at it. He's essentially calling a nice, innocent woman, she's ugly in front of her face, husband and friends. Imagine how uncomfortable she'd feel.

they were not actors, that is the point of Mr. Cohen humor he is really hurting people -- not pretend hurting
Mr. Cohen is a true a-hole and lots of people lick up what comes out of that ahole
You think that's cruel? Try being called a ni**er. That's certainly happened to me. She can compensate for her looks in various ways, maybe by wearing makeup, getting plastic surgery, having and awesome personality, or giving great BJs, I don't know. But when someone disparages you with a racial slur, you just have to take it. You cant' fight every person who does it. There are worse things that can happen to a person. Get over yourself. Is it cruel? Buddy, we live in a cruel world. I wish we didn't, but we do. Also f-you for making fun of the disabled. They are also people who can't change how they are.
shareYou obviously don't appreciate Borat's (Sasha Cohen) sense of humor, he's a Brit and Borat's antics are equated to Monty Python's brand of English humor which was to be outrageously funny. It's not intending to be insulting.
shareoh *beep* off.
shareBorat gives political correctness the kick in the ass it deserves...:)
shareYes there was that, then naked dude in photo, and when nothing worked, called a prostitute over. It seemed clear to me he was riling them up and doing worse things when it wasn't working well enough.
At least later they learn it is fake I guess when the movie releases.
