Probably, but they believe they were duped into exposing it to the world by someone making false claims and entering into possibly non-binding contracts due to impairment by alcohol.

[I Hired Craig Livingstone]

Ahh, that's right. I figured as much given the end scene in Romania. Niiccee.

[trumandogz]

The interview with Alan Keyes was Niiccee!

[I Hired Craig Livingstone]

Not as good as Da Ali G interview with Pat Buchanan:

[common denominator]

You don't know that. They were set up and lied to.

[BossLady]

If consent forms were signed....then it's all good.

(See: 'Girls Gone Wild' shirtlifter lawsuits)

I am not quite sure I see the cause and effect relationship of getting drunk and spouting racist and anti-semitic garbage.

I didn't imply any such relationship. You'll have to ask Mel Gibson about that sort of thing.

[trumandogz]

Yeah, Right.

Every time someone lies to me I start spewing racist and anti-semitic garbage.

The Frat Boys were only set-up by their own stupidity.

[trumandogz]

The Ali G interview with James Baker is a riot too.

"By himself being anti-Semitic, he lets people lower their guard and expose their own prejudice, whether it's anti-Semitism or an acceptance of anti-Semitism," he (Borat) says."

Cohen says doesn't like to discuss how he got people to appear on camera or take seriously Borat's preposterous questions. Revealing his tactics, he says, would be "a disaster, terrible for me."-- Forbes.com

Have you noticed if draped in "comedian status" there are "free passes" going around? Billy Crystal in black-face on Hurrican Katrina, for example; black comedians' use of the N word, X-rated sexual innuendoes rants of Bush by Whoopie at Kerry fundraiser, Micheal Richards' racist banter with a heckler.. if only Mel Gibson had been a comedian............ the Media and David Letterman would have been more forgiving.

[fight_truth_decay]

If consent forms were signed...after intoxication..

Under contract law, to be legally bound to a contract you sign, you must have the mental capacity to enter into that agreement. Any level of intoxication obviates the signor's clarity of thought and judgment and invalidates the contract.-Legal.zoom story above.

Certainly there can be no rational ground for asserting that a man can have a moral obligation to obey a legal rule that does not exist, or is kept secret from him, or that came into existence only after he had acted, or was unintelligible, or was contradicted by another rule of the same system, or commanded the impossible, or changed every minute-- Legal Realism and the Social Contract

According to the boy's complaint.

1. They were liquored up before hand.
2. They were taken to the the mobile home where they were encouraged to get rowdy and drink some more.
3. Notice how the viewer was led to believe that was their vehicle.
4. They made stupid comments on tape.

I think they were set up.

However Borat - the guy who let the 300 pound hairy guy sit naked on his face - is to be trusted and you seem to believe you have the supernatural ability to see into the hearts of the frat boys and know what they would say and believe while sober.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Yet another slander of alcohol when will it end?

I laughed my ass off in the movie.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Alcohol reveals too much of the heart at times. It almost never creates what is there.

[common denominator]

What you say is true some of the time not all of the time.

I choose to give the immature college students the benefit of the doubt rather than the guy who brought down the bag of feces to give to the hostess of the dinner party.

[trumandogz]

Please provide me with evidence that alcohol makes people say things that they do not believe.

[BossLady]

I realize that....but like I said...if you take a look at the 'Girls Gone Wild' lawsuits...the girls all stated they were under the influence and were underage when they signed consent (even though they signed they were over 18 when they were not)....they still lost in court.

Take a look at any standard model/actor release form.....it is very explicit. There is always a 'hold harmless' clause.

The production company et al may just pay everyone off rather than go to court anyway....

[justshutupandtakeit]

And you are sure that was feces because....?

[ShandaLear]

Loved how he sang it to the tune of the Star Spangled Banner. Hilarious.

[common denominator]

That's funny. Did you see the movie?

So you choose to believe the guy who dropped his pants and attempted to take a dump in front of a New York business while the side walks were crowded.

I think you are saying that because the excrement in the bag may have been fake he is more trustworthy than the college students because they are from the South.
