Everyone who appeared in that movie had to sign a waiver. None of these lawsuits will prove to have any merit in court because of this. Actually it cracks me up...people do and say stupid things when a camera is on them. Everyone wants to be a supahstah. Borat showed some of them that they had better be careful what they wish for. As for the movie, I finally saw it last Saturday. As a Jew, I was not offended by the so-called "anti-semetism" in the movie. Believe me, it's nothing that Mel Brooks wouldn't do if he was of the same age and from the same generation as Sasha Baron Cohen. The movie had me doubled over in painful laughter half of the time, and scratching my head thinking "did he really do/say that" the other half. It is unlike any other movie I have ever seen. Completely off the wall. To me, Sasha Baron Cohen (as Borat) is a combination of Mel Brooks (in the humor) and Andy Kaufman (in always staying in character and causing "incidents"). I don't think my parent's generation would understand it, but I thought parts of it were frikking hilarious.
