#1 Debbie Schlussel says the film is more an attack on Red State America. I'll save my money.

#3 At least some Khazaks are learning that "Any publicity can be good publicity". But if they can quickly follow-up with a documentary on their country showing its best and prettiest, it may also be worth a lot of tourism dollars.

#5 Beg to differ -- the joke's on Europe. They can titter at a backward muslim being outrageous in the U.S. when the fact is there are millions of not-so-cute and funny backward muslims milling around their shithole postage stamp countries.

#6 Don't know much about this movie, but I caught about a minute of Mr. Cohen's Borat character on Conan O'Brian. It was painful to watch, audience reacting to him like a skunk walked on the set, and I flipped the channel. Welcome to America's 15 minute of fame, Mr. Cohen. Be sure to leave before your visa expires.

#7 I saw him on a FOX morning show. I couldn't turn the channel and it was really painful to watch. Fake smiles and laughs from the FOX duo.

At that time, I didn't know the show was such a bomb but he totally bombed on that show. He was trying to be funny, but he was just uncomfortably annoying.
