Gulfnews: Fraternity boys sue Borat over film role

It says The young men "engaged in behaviour that they otherwise would not have engaged in", the lawsuit says.
Presumably that they would not have engaged in if they hadn't been on camera and thought there was a chance of being on TV or on film.

Or all they just laughing at each other thinking "That person is so stupid. I'm not that stupid"?

So only being on film brought out their bigoted side, eh? Funny that. At all other times, they're mid-mannered guys who embrace multi-culturalism.

If you have opinions like they have and if you have to blurt it out on camera, then you're a fool and deserve all you get. The thing is, they look like even bigger fools for suggesting they'll sue!

Because the film BORAT has made well over $50 million profit so far, practically everybody in it is threatening to sue for a bigger share of the cake.
As they were all very well paid at the time, and signed release forms, they do not have any legal claim at all.....
I hope they do not receive one cent more.....this naked greed is shocking !

DING-DING-DING! It's as simple as that, I'm sorry to say. Nothing whatever to do with irony, or some elevated perspective. It's still the USA last time I checked.
