Well first I saw this on MTV News, so I decided to look it up.

Here it is
To sum it all up, they are sueing "Borat" because it was offensive on what was shown on the big screen when it isn't true.

Here's the quote that will sum it up better:

Quote:

"Nothing could have been further from the truth," the lawsuit said. "The project was not a documentary. The project was not about poverty in Romania — it was supposedly about Kazakhstan. The project was intended to portray the plaintiffs Todorache and Ciorebea and other villagers as rapists, abortionists, prostitutes, thieves, racists, bigots, simpletons and/or boors."

Post your thoughts.

Well darn. I just saw that movie today too. Ah well, it was still pretty funny. It will be interesting to see how this turns out though.
