"Borat" is Better Than Sexytime

The Slug saw a previewing screening of "Borat" last night. Believe the hype. It truly is the funniest and most outrageous film of the year. (Granted, we haven't seen "Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause" yet.) We hate to say this, but we also saw Christopher Guest's "For Your Consideration" recently. And although Guest invented the mockumentary genre in "Waiting for Guffman," Sacha Baron Cohen has truly made it his own with a blend of both scripted and improvised elements, further blurring the lines between reality and fiction and making Americans looking totally dumb. Too bad not not everyone knows who he is.

Look what Borat, aka, Ali G did at 2004 Harvard Class Day.
