The Borat Conjecture

By Anastasia ⋅ November 14, 2006 ⋅  Email this post ⋅  Print this post ⋅ Post a comment

FACT #1: Borat will not be showing in Russian theaters since a film commission, reviewing the movie at the request of the studio, concluded the audiences would find it too offensive.

FACT #2: The movie was #1 movie at the US box office for two weeks now, raking in a cool $67 mill.

FACT #3: The thought of a sequel is making student executives everywhere just plain overflow with jubilation.

COMPLICATION: Yet just about everyone in US will recognize Borat. Or will go up and ask for an autograph. Or scream Jagshamesh at him. Or, if the poor man happens to be in my former home neighborhood of Hell’s Kitchen, beat him up.

SOLUTION: Cultural Learnings of Russia to Make Benefit the Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

UPSHOT: Revenge! Revenge!
