did anyone see that the frat boys in the movie are suing borat because they were "tricked into engaging in the boorish onscreen behavior"?
HA!

HA!
I didnt see that they were suing. They certainly acted like idiots in the movie.
I wonder what legal papers get signed to get footage into the movie like that?
pretty wild.
I wonder if it is going to go anywhere. I'm sure they signed enough releases that it won't. And they were drunk. The alcohol brought out all of their true feelings....just like Mel Gibson!!
:lol:
Ha! They probably filed the lawsuit WHILE DRUNK! As another fun drunken crazy thing to do.
Yeah, they signed papers. Perhaps they were tricked into thinking their antics would only air in Kazakstan and not in the US, but that's no excuse to act the way they did. :oops:
:arrow: And on a completely unrelated note, happy 7000th post, Walker!
:shock:
The frat boy scene kind of ruined the movie for me. It was one thing to see old hill billies acting like ignorant fools, but to see young "educated" people behaving the way they were was so disheartening.
Looks like they lost!
At the time the suit was filed, a judge denied the pair's request for a temporary restraining order that would remove footage of them from the film, but the plaintiffs were given a another chance to seek an injunction at a hearing last week.The South Carolina college students lost again when Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Joseph Biderman ruled they had failed to show a reasonable probability of success on the merits of their case or that money damages alone would be insufficient to resolve their claims.
Arguments on the latest motion focused mainly on the future DVD release of the hit movie, "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan."
