november surprise?

could it be that it's not individual anti-semites, homophobes and uber-patriots "borat" is lampooning but instead the ingrained ugliness in american culture? and then these same americans pay money and flock to theaters and laugh at the crude antics of "borat", when they really should walk away embarrassed or possibly slightly more educated?

subversive indeed.

i wonder if people from other countries would get the joke. whereas a lot of folks here would say "wow, that guy 'borat' says pretty offensive stuff. he just doesn't give a shit! that's so cool! i love it that this film is so politically incorrect!"... i wonder if brits and europeans would say, "wow, americans are quite a sorry lot," as american after american exposes himself as a complete moron or a bigot. "who are they to exert moral superiority? hrmph!"

it's funny that the underlying concept of this film has flown under the right wing radar.

so, come tonight, we'll see if americans realize that they've been punk'd by a british guy wearing nothing but a silly mustache and an ill-fitted suit as a disguise. :)
