Borat is reality TV now?!
Wow... I could never have guessed.. With the Op stating it was scripted, I'm still not sure.

This is quite possibly the most pointless thread ever. This is more pointless than a thread about which dev would look better in a pink dress on a sunny day.
Whether your frat brothers were "acting" or merely drunk and saying what they thought is irrelevant. The fact of the matter is that it's still in the movie. I really doubt anyone is going to believe you and in all honesty why would they? It's not like the frat would admit it anyways. This is going to be viewed as a covering your arse attempt. Whether you did anything wrong or not. As for the law suits hmm. Those could honestly take some effect. All they really have to do is convince a judge that your frat creates a hostile enviroment for minorities and they can slap you with a huge fine or close your chapter. What you need for your defense is frat brothers in good standing to testify that your chapter doesn't treat anyone differently etc.
So best of luck in your case and now I really need to go see that movie.

Just saw the film, was one of the funniest things ever. I loved the bit with the Jew laying the egg at the start. 
And the naked wrestling. And the bit with the children/bear. 
Best seven quid spent in a while.

Advancing a disadvantaged race does not make them racist. It puts them on par.

Edited by: Alowishus on 09/11/2006 14:46:26 Frat boys are stupid. Watching them is like watching sheep. They all dress alike, talk alike and act like retards. When a group of them tries to get in my bar, usually all of them wearing a pink polo over a green Abercrombie t-shirt and crooked Frat-hat, I like to make them unpop their collars and straighten their hats in front of all their dumb little friends. And if I see the word "Abercrombie" twice anywhere on their body, they don't get in at all. Also, they all have crotch rockets and/or Talons.

Originally by: Leno For all of you who have seen the new borat movie you may have seen a part where some guys pick up borat. They are from the fraternity chi psi in south carolina. I happen to be a brother in this chapter. I would just like to say they knew about borat and what they said while drunk was ment to be taken as funny and promote the ideas of the film. They are all from new york and not some southern racist jerks you think we are. So when you watch the movie that scene is very funny but please remeber that we are not racist and think what is said, they are merely going along with what is happening.
Alpha beta, thank god! We are gentlemen and not racist ass holes
So basically your friends were caughgt off guard and revealed themselves as the bigots they are?
Nah jk.

Originally by: Leno I would just like to say they knew about borat and what they said while drunk was ment to be taken as funny and promote the ideas of the film.
they knew who he was, and yet they still sue? Quote: SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Two 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.
The lawsuit claims that in October 2005, a production crew took the students to a bar to drink and "loosen up" before participating in what they were told would be a documentary to be shown outside of the United States.
"They were induced to agree to participate and were told the name of the fraternity and the name of their school wouldn't be used," said the plaintiffs' attorney, Olivier Taillieu. "They were put into an RV and were made to believe they were picking up Borat the hitchhiker."
After a bout of heavy drinking, the plaintiffs signed a release form they were told "had something to do with reliability issues with being in the RV," Taillieu said.
The film "made plaintiffs the object of ridicule, humiliation, mental anguish and emotional and physical distress, loss of reputation, goodwill and standing in the community," the lawsuit said.
It names 20th Century Fox, a unit of News Corp., and three production companies as defendants.
Studio spokesman Gregg Brilliant said the lawsuit "has no merit."
The plaintiffs were seeking an injunction to stop the studio from displaying their image and likeness, along with unspecified monetary damages.
"Borat" debuted as the top movie last weekend with $26.5 million.

I can almost promise you that some lawyer found out who they were/where to find them and contacted them and told them they could be rich if they sue. The moderators here are excellent at policing signatures. |

So why did they sue?
Your defense of your frat brothers suggests they knew exactly what they were doing, but their lawsuit suggests otherwise.
Are they just trying to milk a cash cow now?

Such a funny movie. I laughed, I cried, then I laughed again.
leno your frat brothers did you guys a dis-service acting that way if they were in fact acting. I hope you guys can work through it, and that they were in fact acting; however they still portrayed themselves and your entire frat as bigots.
Volt It's great touching your own dink isn't it?

that was the one part of the movie where the theatre barely laughed. They werent funny at all, only embarrassing and obnoxious.
I kind of hoped their RV drove off a cliff but unfortunately i saw on cnn that they lived to sue, oh well. ______________

omg funniest part for me was the bit in new york, when he went up to that ginger dude trying to greet him then ran down about 3 streets with borat chasing.
His face was classic!
tbh the thread itself is pointless. Reguardless if it were acted or not i think were all mature enough to relise that America is huge and i personally do not paint everyone with the same brush.
There are small minded idiots everywhere no matter what country. -------------------------------------------------------- Forever Pirate 2
