Sean rented a bunch of movies to celebrate his official start of spring break. I said, go ahead and get ‘Borat’ as I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. There was a certain much talked about scene involving nakedness and it was rather lewd-or just plain gross and we must admit, a little comical.

I think the concept of a foreigner coming to the good old USA has been done before (Moscow on the Hudson with Robin Williams?). This had its funny moments and the critics liked it. Sasha Baron Cohen (I think of the little ice skater all the time when I see his name), is one peculiar fellow. At first when he was making the tv circuits for the movie promo, I thought he was the real deal, that he was like Borat, he was that good. Then I found out he was a British comic who does a number of characters. How he acted and what he said at the awards show (he won a Golden Globe!) was a little disrespectful to everyone listening. I am pretty sure he and his girlfriend mouthed the words F U when the camera came on them at the Academy Awards. Hey Sasha, maybe this is your 15 minutes of fame and do you want to be remembered as a jerk?

Don’t get me wrong, I love British humor-have been a fan of Monty Python’s for ages. I don’t remember any of them acting that way in public and they all kept a pretty low key persona.

The movie was funny-one of the best parts-when he walked into a Christian revival meeting and said he wanted to be saved. He then asked the minister if Jesus loved his brother down to his neighbor who he hated. He said that no one loved his neighbor even ‘Mister’ Jesus.
