Everyone Hates Borat
Everyone hates Borat. Except the studio execs over at 20th Century Fox and 13-18 year old males everywhere!Last week, a group of college students featured in the movie filed a lawsuit against the film's star, Sascha Baron Cohen, claiming that they were explicitly told that the movie would not air in the US.
Now, residents of a Romanian village are expressing their outrage.
Residents and local officials in the hardscrabble hamlet 85 miles northwest of Bucharest said Tuesday they were horrified and humiliated to learn their abject poverty and simple ways were ridiculed for a movie now raking in millions at box offices worldwide.
"We thought they came here to help us — not mock us," said Dana Luca, 40, sweeping a manure-stained street lined with shabby homes of crumbling brick and corrugated iron sheeting.
"We haven't got anything here. We haven't got running water. We can't even bathe," she said. "We are poor people, but we are still people."
When contacted, Sascha Baron Cohen was unavailble for comment because he was too busy rolling around in a bathtub full of $100 bills and working on the script for his next film where he plans to make fun of mentally challenged 6 year olds living in 3rd world countries.
