I saw Borat with my sisters, one of whom said that nothing is sacred to such a good humorist. I disagree. Borat made no jokes at all about Islam or Communism, the two forces that have kept Kazakhstan ignorant and benighted. He wouldn’t have dared to lampoon Mohammed. He’s a coward and a twit. He just likes to embarrass people who take him for a sincere traveler. He winds up embarrassing his audience. I’ve noticed this trend lately. Adam Sandler, John Candy, Michael Moore and a bunch of other no-talent goofs think that saying somthing that embarrasses decent people is ipso facto uproariously funny. I barely laughed at all. I thought Borat was just an unfunny, obscene, poorly directed and vicious remake of “Moscow on the Hudson”, right down to the ghetto kid “homey” jokes. Robin Williams has more comic talent in his little finger than Cohen does in what is generously called his mind. Pathetic.
