Girls Gone Wild, Frat Boys Style...

Ok, so Borat is now the #1 movie in America, once again proving that Americans on the whole are stupid. Let's go out and support a movie that patronizes us, points to all our flaws, and generally makes us look like bumbling idiots. But hey, we're all about free speech and isn't Sacha Baron Cohen [a.k.a., "Borat"] just exercising his?

I'm not against this movie by any means, so don't misunderstand what I'm about to say. It's just that I can't help but feel a little bad for the stupid frat guys from good old University of South Carolina. The frat boys claim they were tricked and coerced into saying racist and sexist comments. Let's get one thing clear- NO ONE is ever "tricked" into saying those kind of comments in front of a video camera if they don't mean it a little at least. They claim they thought the video would be shown outside of the country, once again proving that Americans are idiots and have no concept of pride in our country.

My friends went to a theater here in Columbia last week to watch Borat [for those of you who haven't been keeping up, I attend the grad school here at the Univ. of South Carolina-- grad school, not undergrad, so don't blame me] and they said it was ridiculous. First there was lots of cheering when the students "picked up" a hitch-hiking Borat, but then dead silence when the comments were made. These guys are getting ridiculed left, right and center for what they said. Serves them right for being such typical Southern frat boy jerks. So you're asking why do I feel sorry for them? I feel sorry for the fact that no one seems to have taught them better and now they have to suffer with the whole country knowing how ridiculous and idiotic they are. But at the end of the day, they signed a waiver, and now they know how those poor drunk college girls feel after they flash the cameras :)
