Some folks don't find it funny. 'Borat' victims upset at being duped. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061113/...at_s_victims_5

This movie appears to be the same kind of satire as the show "All in the Family". People complaining that this is anti-semantic would be like black people complaining that Archie Bunker was a biggot. The whole point was/is to make fun of such people.

I went to see Borat on Saturday night, but all the shows for the entire evening were already sold out at 7pm, so we saw "stranger than fiction". Do yourself a favor and wait for that one on DVD.

I laughed, I cringed, and laughed some more. I think people who like Monte Python, Don Rickles, The Simpsons, Family Guy, etc. will like (or love) it. People who don't appreciate what I call "humor of the absurd" probably won't.

How does this sort of humour go down in the US?

Well, the movie was #1 at the box office 2 weeks in a row. Does that answer your question?

The answer is that from those who go see it (some people in the US) you will hear all the hoop-la. For those who don't (the vast majority) you won't hear a thing because they will regard it as nonsense and there will be no comment.
