SANTA MONICA, Calif. (Nov. 10) - 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.

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."

I knew someone in that movie was bound to sue, or it could be a publicity stunt to get more people to watch it too

what they say?????

One of the things they said was that minorities get the best treatment in America.

but no one made them drink, and no one made them say it, regardless of the circumstances. they still said it, and they knew they were being filmed. its just a way to cover up the shit they said.

Who gives a fuck what they said. I hope nobody is going to start bitching. People have the freedom to say what they want. Even if its racial remarks. That does not mean that some bad shit wiont happen. Minorities need to shut the fuck up and stop bitching. We are all in the same situation and in the same boat. To the government we are all minorities. Think its easier because Iam white. Hahah nope not at all.

It actually IS easier for you because you're white.

But aside from that...what the fuck did your reply really have to do with the thread topic? The guys complaining are WHITE and RACIST. And it was them making comments about minorities and slavitude, so exactly why SHOULD minorities shut up?

It's true. I'm not fully white but I have some white in me thanks to Spanish (European) blood and that has definitely gotten me out of some pedo in the past that more stereotypically Latino looking people were unable to skate on with cops and rivals. I almost have to go out of my way to get into trouble and I have in the past, then they notice this "huero". If I'm not wearin red, most people wouldnt know I was affiliated until they talk to me. I'm a chill ass dude though anyways, but sometimes it gets boring living the so called role of the white man.
