Mahir To Borat, I Sue You!

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the my-wife-she-is-dead-now-is-ok-i-have-new-wife dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The mockumentary Borat bears more than a passing resemblance to late '90s net celeb Mahir Cagri of ikissyou.org, and he's not amused. Steven Leckart of Wired magazine gives him the third degree."

    Some of the "Borat" bits are funny, especially the improv interviews.

    Portions of it border on racism, emphasizing stereotypes of a "backwater" region that might need help rather than denigration.

    But to each their own. I'll put my entertainment dollars elsewhere.
