Only he did was praise Kazakhstan it's not like he was putting America down. I didn't think even the dumbest of rednecks could get that mad about someone singing another country's anthem. This would be a great film to show to anyone who has never been to the United States and has plans to go.
sharewhy would it be a great film to show people who have never been or have plans to go? America's reputation is already stitched up enough without having its worst qualities paraded around as a first impression.
SURPRISE! BUTTSECKS!

Imagine if they were holding the Olympics in front of that crowd. There would probably be some foreign athletes shot.
sharei think its the fact he used the (fake) lyrics to his own national anthem to the tune of americas.
plus americans are overly patriotic and anyone who says anything bad about their country always like to defend it to the hills so this slight on a nation will have been opposed by a crowd who cheered to the statement about bush drinking the blood of all women and children in iraq.
america (on the whole) needs to lighten up and stop thinking that they are the best country in the world, no country is the best

Because he started singing sh!t like BUsh drinks blood of Iraqi kids and stuff like that, so they started to get colder toward him. LOL
shareHe didn' sing that, braddy, and when he said it, the crowd was still cheering.
I think what did it was the part about every other country being run by little girls, and being home of the gays.
He didn't say that Bush drinks the blood of Iraqi's, his character Borat wished this "sincerely" for America and believed such comments would be well-received. It was vefy funny that even when he said that, some people were still cheering.
shareMaybe it's cause of the line "Kazakstan is the greatest country in the world, all other countries are run by little girls"
sharethey were booing him because
a) he "desecrated" the national anthem. Let's not forget that to most of those people, the number one priority in terms of Constitutional Amendment is to forbid people to burn the US flag...
b) he DID put down the US and every other country. The most hillarious part I think is that, if asked, the people in the audience would probably say the US were superior to any other country and that other countries are gay!
that was the funniest scene in the movie!! All those morons... the guy he talks to before the rodeo is by far the worse racist/bigot/homophobic jerk I have seen in a documentary. Wow... to think people like that can still exist in the 21st century in a country with education and diversity says a lot about humanity I'm afraid.

Documentary? This movie is hardly on my "documentary" shelf. That's tantamount to calling Fox News or Michael Moore "unbiased".
Pretty obvious, he said 'we support your war OF terror' not ON terror.
How dumb do you have to be to not pick that up?
The comment of "we support your war of terror" stuck out to me, but those idiots didn't get it. I just thought it was hilarious. Yes, I'm an american and I don't support the "war of terror", which is what it is. When Borat said that the crowd went wild with happiness. It's like "idiots, did you not hear what he said?"

It's like "idiots, did you not hear what he said?"His character is supposed to be foreign with a less-than-perfect grasp of English. People with a loose grasp of English often mix up their prepositions. It's obvious to us, being in on the joke, that he chose to say "of" intentionally, but to anyone who believed he really was a foreigner, it would be perfectly reasonable to assume he just used the wrong preposition. share

I live near Salem, VA. where the scene was shot and remember when he came to town and the news reported about how he was booed for all of the things he was saying. The cheering you heard was spliced into the video of him promoting the war on terror and the like to make the rodeo that visited Salem seem like red necks. In reality the people were ready to beat him down (he was instructed to leave the Salem civic center for his own safety) for what he was saying. No one was praising him for it.
People heard what he said who were there at the rodeo that night. You've got it on DVD I assume? Then perhaps you could watch it and pay attention instead of just going along with what this fictional movie (not documentary) wants you to think.

Everyone there seemed to miss that he said "I support your war OF terror" rather than war AGAINST terror. aha.
shareHe was actually putting the whole world down...
Something about all other countries are like little girls..
I dont really remember
Sometimes I surprise with my own geniousity =)
Do you think if I traveled to Iran and said their country was run by a little girl that people would find it amusing. I would most likely have my head cut off before I finished singing.

Well, there are differences between the individual states. Just like in my own country Germany, where all 16 lands are different from each other.
The redneck scene is scary indeed, but weren't they in Texas? Texas is like Bavaria: a part of the federation, and still different in its own way. We Saxons actually don't even consider Bavarians fellow Germans. Bavarians are not Germans, they are Bavarians. And I believe it is similar with Texas. Texas is different from other states, I have been told.
I would not set foot in Texas, or any other southern state. Many scary things have been reported from there. As a non-christian believer I would never go there. But the nothern states and the north-east (including New England) is safe, they are not like that.
Surely you will find morons there too, as those are everywhere, in every country. But I doubt that you would find idiots like that en masse. And that old dude promoting killing gays and muslims? I don't want to believe that could be common believe in the north and northeast.

Northern Germany is Nordid, Phalian and Borreby
Southern Germany is Nordid (often Keltic-Variant), Alpine and Dinaric (especially Bavaria and Austria).
In South-West Germany there is also a little Med influence.
In Eastern Germany a dash of Baltid

Spread the word to your friends, kaufmeisterin! share

LOL kaufmeisterin you would never set foot in the South? That is too funny. You are definitely worse than people in the south. The U.S. isn't Germany man, states aren't that different from each other, and the large majority of people in the South aren't racists and bigots like you would believe from watching movies like this and common stereotypes. The north has just as many racists as the south.
shareIt was in the South though, the mid-south. I think it was supposed to be set in Alabama or Mississippi, but was actually filmed in Virginia.
As far as Texas or the southern states being dangerous, they are much less dangerous than the NE. Detroit, Baltimore, DC, Philly, parts of NYC and New Jersey, and Cleveland are infinitely more dangerous. I think you have maybe watched too many movies.

"I would not set foot in Texas, or any other southern state. Many scary things have been reported from there."
WOW. Many scary things... as scary as nazi concentration camps? Remember when Germany tried to take over the world and MURDERED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE in the process? Or do they not teach those things in Germany?
"Surely you will find morons there too, as those are everywhere, in every country. But I doubt that you would find idiots like that en masse."
WOW again. Genius, how many Germans followed Hitler?

Funny. A huge portion of the population of the Texas Hill Country is German immigrants. I'm from Austin, nearby are Pflugerville, Luckenbach, the Spoetzl brewery in Shiner, New Braunfels, Weimar, Schulenburg, etc. My grandfather is from Germany and settled in Texas. Good thing not all Germans are complete and utter ignorant cowards like yourself. On another note, I would never visit Germany. I hear the SS likes to arrest foreigners and bring them to Hitler for questioning.
