Borat-Crozed

BORAT-CRAZED

I am indeed Borat-crazed!

The guy is just hilarious! Some people don’t get the Borat joke though. Well, like what the song says, “the joke is on me.” When you start to take him seriously, that’s when you’ve become the joke.

Borat challenges all of us and our prejudices and ignorance. Surely, Kazakhstan is not how he projects her to be. But we would very conveniently believe him because it’s the easy and lazy way to knowing. It’s easier to believe rumor and bad news than really finding out the truth. It’s easier to surrender to our prejudices than to accept other views and opinions.

Sacha Baron Cohen is not an ordinary comedian. Through his art – Borat and Ali G – he is sending us a very strong message about our own intellectual frailties.

What makes the jokes funny is our own awakening. It becomes funny because we become aware of how un-true our own perceptions and opinions of other countries and people are.

Really, we are the joke. Borat is a genius to expose this through his art.

"This is Natalia… she is my sister. She is number 4 prostitute in all of Kazakhstan! Nice!”
