Humiliated frat boys sue 'Borat'

From USA Today:

(AP) — Two unsuspecting fraternity boys want to make lawsuit against Borat over their drunken appearance in the hit movie. The legal action filed Thursday on their behalf claims they were duped into appearing in the spoof documentary "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan," in which they made racist and sexist comments on camera.
The young men "engaged in behavior that they otherwise would not have engaged in," the lawsuit says. Borat follows the adventures of comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's Kazakh journalist character in a blend of fiction and improvised comic encounters as he travels across the United States and mocks Americans. The plaintiffs were not named in the lawsuit "to protect themselves from any additional and unnecessary embarrassment." They were identified in the movie as fraternity members from a South Carolina university, and appeared drunk as they made insulting comments about women and minorities to Cohen's character.

In this age of You Tube and "Gibsonisms," those who have a tendency to spout sexist and/or racist comments should know to either watch their mouths or be mature enough to "own" their unflattering world views. With that said, these clowns asked for it. And what the heck — at least these SC frat boys can truthfully say that they were crucial players in what is reportedly one of the funniest films of 2006. (I haven't seen it yet, but have heard from several trustworthy sources that it's an absolute riot. Can't wait to check it out.)
