Ok. So we got Borat from Netflix a week or so ago and finally got around to watching it. I'm fully aware that the following statement will totally prove once and for all my complete transition to unhip old fart, but what a complete waste of however long that piece of crap movie was! (And for the record, Chris is an unhip old fart, too, because he totally agreed, expressing his disappointment after all the hype so many months ago.) I am not without a sense of humor. I can even laugh at the sad state of affairs that has become our country. Team America, though a bit uncomfortable at times, was quite entertaining. But this movie was pathetic. Not only did it put some of the worst that America has to offer on display for the whole world to see, it just wasn't funny enough, when it was funny at all. Basically it was a British guy making fun of Americans who were too stupid to realize they were being made fun of, but the subject matter was just sad. Bigotry, sexism, rape. Not funny. The stadium full of people cheering the total annihilation of Iraq? Not funny. The douche bag frat boys? Not funny. The homophobic redneck rodeo clown? Not funny. Back pussy? Seriously? Not even a little bit funny. What kind of sick fuck thinks of some shit like that? That whole scene was just deeply disturbing.
Pretty sure my IQ went down a few points just for watching that tripe. If I want to see Americans making asses of themselves, all I have to do is turn on any cable news network. They certainly don't need some foreign actor helping them out. What's sad is how easily these morons played right along, giving him all the fodder he needed to make us all look like a bunch of jackasses. Idiots. And then the rest of the country celebrates? What a sad statement that is. I just don't get it.
