Duped Dipshits Dismayed

Or as Yahoo! News puts it, 'Borat' victims upset at being duped.

Guess what? If each of these dipshits was not a walking stereotypical poster-child for any number of bombastic American hypocrisies, they wouldn't have been in the film in the first place. Borat nimbly peels back a distinctly Americanized disingenuous gossamer veneer of moral propriety, and it's HILARIOUS.

Sasha Cohen is a hero for exposing the very real bigotry, insincerity, and depravity of a society that continually applauds itself as a beacon of tolerance and openness. The truth is, we ARE NOT VERY TOLERANT compared to the ideals of tolerance we collectively espouse.

Age-discrimination is particularly rampant, as people over 30 or 40 are increasingly discarded from the workforce. I'd love to see Sasha create a 42, 52, or 62 y.o. character who goes out interviewing for jobs, in possession of clearly superior communication skill and job credentials to younger applicants. The rampant discrimination of HR people would speak for itself, he wouldn't have to do anything but be polite, best-qualified, and too old in order to hear the universally accepted discrimination code-phrase, "you're just not a good fit right now."

The new character would be a challenge for Cohen because he'd be a superficial opposite to Borat; very refined, cultured, and polished; but he should be named Boris, to further play upon the embedded ignorance of Americans who watched the Bullwinkle cartoons as little kids and therefore still walk around with the subconscious bigotry of that name as inherently evil; all due to an idiotic Saturday morning cartoon designed to coerce them into shoveling their fat-ass faces full of sugary breakfast foods.
