Frat Boys Sue Borat

Well it looks as if the Associated Press is reporting that the frat boys in the movie "Borat: Cultural Learnings for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan" are suing the studio claiming they were "duped." Let me just say first, I hope they lose.

The students said they wouldn't have normally said the racist and sexist things they did in the movie, had they known it was as spoof.

I can't believe this. It is so very typical of most people, when caught in a bind and realizing embarrassment to try and backstep. Our society as a whole is highly based on finding a scapegoat (a person or group made to bear the blame for others and suffer in their place), that individuals do it far too often. I believe the students claim has no merit and I certainly hope they are denied in court. They should not be allowed monetary compensation for their actions, they knew full well what they were saying and that they were being taped for a movie. It was up to them to decide what they felt and if they were going to express it. This is a cheap ploy to backstep and financially gain from it.

I am sickened by how often individuals sue one another in this country. People should be responsible for their actions; there is no question that it is the foundation for a respectable and admirable existence.
