we go to the heartland of the u.s. to a rodeo infested with our very
own jingoistic rich-a-likes, then we head off to a class-conscious
bunch of bores, then we bust into a meeting of capitalists naked, hop
onto a caravan with 3 mackie meets frankenstein drunk students who
whine about how the u.s. is so incredibly socialist, how slavery was
much better and how only the minorities have power (yes, they're
talking of the u.s., of all places), and then we meet george peatty who
tells borat how much jesus loves him. then the pamela anderson climax.
wonderful mooee. but didnt tell me anything i didnt know. still, a
miracle to have this in a neo-conservative owned media, and of all
places, shown in the u.s. ah well. surely political incorrectness is
really about taking the piss out of how damn stupid...

Hhmmm...from what I've heard, the movie is incredibly politically
correct.
Borat ridicules the same old targets of the New York Leftist Jewish
cultural elite....
namely white, mid-America.
You call that "politically incorrect" ?? You don't even know what
that means !!!

I'm inclined to agree. Right wing PC would be the high dudgeon shown
over Kerry's joke at Bush's expense, or over Chavez taking a swing at
Bush as the Devil incarnate.

I've linked/posted a bunch of movie reviews mostly favorable, some not
favorable at alt. fan. letterman under "Martin Short."
They contain important commentary/criticism, and thus I think I'll try
to re-post 'em here into this threrad.
I realize that anybody can go to various movie review websites and have
at 'em, while the ones I've gathered impress me to so do it this way
too:

tivoed NIGHTLINE last night, and they have devoted five insightful
not laudatory minutes to Borax:
And today this NYT columnist publicizes the phenomenon critically:
And it's all spelled P-U-B-L-I-C-I-T-Y (just spell it correctly, as the
cliche goes)

I realize I'm supposed to be worried about the dangerous tendencies
of the Americans caught on film in "Borat." But I'm more
concerned about the Americans sitting in the audience laughing.

sure i do. ''politically correct'' is yet another term adopted by the
politically correct far right... it's just a far right wing buzzword
but it really should mean laughing your ass off at how damn retarded
right wingers are, dontcha think? ok so it's leftist and it's jewish,
just because it isn't christian and right wing doesn't mean it can't
deserve that mysterious term ''politically incorrect''. why do you
think language belongs to you?
