It's a no brainer; bait people or confront them when they don't expect it and chances are you're going to get something 'funny' out of it, just like crank calling. Alot of people love to see other people uncomfortable or lose their cool. It's just pandering to the bad tastes of America, but ultimately the joke's on the audience. It's almost like a softcore snuff film. It's all funny until it's happening to them. Then suddenly it's invasive and offensive. To each his own I guess. What parts of the Borat film did you actually like, aside from the naked wrestling thing... [ Edited by: donhonyc 2006-11-12 22:21 ]
