88. Actually Borat is an ingenious character whose persona reflects and
spoofs the real genocidal idiots out there. Sascha Baron Cohen is making fun of the people who really feel the way Borat does. It is very funny but the underlying concept of the satire is to reveal these monsters for what they are. Each character he does goes after a different type of bigot it seems, Borat highlights anti-semitism and genocidal infighting in civil conflicts within eastern block countries, Bruno goes after the homophobes, and Ali G just lampoons everybody in between especially the pompous politicians and talking heads he interviews. Hysterical show but definitely not for everyone. An acquired taste for some.
