Borat!
IMDB wank is, as we all know, like shooting fish in a barrel. But sometimes one needs some light, effort-free wank to get through a hard week.

The latest entry in the sweepstakes is this thread from the board for Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.

ckyarethebest starts the fun:

i cant believe the amount of people on here who bitch about borats movie and how its offensive to kasakstan. the kasakstanians...and you REALLY need to get a sense of humour. what is your sense on humour? romantic comedies? the character or borat is so obviously not what kasakstan is that it becomes hilarious. if someone from kasakstan is offended by this it just means that they recognise a little of themselves in the borat and are ashamed to say so. i dont cry everytime the americans steriotype the british as tea drinking inbred reletives to the queen and do you know why? becasue its funny.i also notice alot of people takin offense are americans. come on guys this is becasue borat made a fool of you isnt it.

And they're off! Lots of stuff, but this was one of my favorites.
musicfan_71: what the hell does taking the mick out of people mean? does it have something to do with COLOR? or something to do with the irish?

And then:
johnblox: So what if it is offensive? Good I say. In an era when Muslims go out and actually MURDER people for printing cartoons! Or who very recently MURDERED a 60 year old nun because the pope referenced back to a speech from 400 years ago in a single line of a speech he made that was FIFTEEN PAGES long and addrssed NOT to the public but to acadmecs, it is quite clear that these people DELIBERATLY look for offense and use it as political currency to justify the most barbaric acts.

wallflower88: wow what an authentic *beep*
firstly, people like you dont deserve to be listened to, but i did you the favour. your pathetic, you don't know what your talking about, and where the hell is ur dignity and self respect. you honestly look like a bag of *beep* right now.
what the hell does borat's movie have to do with your outrageous muslim accusations!? now give me an example of christian violence, hindu..JEWISH. just give me a few.

you won't have any. because you focus on the damn stereotypes that are so sadly followed and believed. you've just shown what kind of person you are, so i wont waste any more of my time.

And an attempt at earth logic, although the mention of "humours" makes me want to crack an alchemy joke:
wingkityboy: This movie is rated R and hence we can assume that the people allowed to watch this movie are mature enough to distinguish humours and facts.

Lots of crap writing, poor spelling and grammar, rantiness galore -- it's got something for everyone.

ETA: Forgot to add a link to this hilarious account of Borat's guerilla press conference outside the Kazhakstan embassy in Washington DC from a week and a half ago. Be sure to watch the video. Sacha Baron Cohen basically wins at life.
