Subject: BS: Borat film exploits Romanian gypsies
I haven't seen the film but have great misgivings about how it makes fun of people in a real country. Now here is an article that says something about how the movie was made.
I would encourage everyone who is offended by this to write to various people so that at least some of the wrongs here can be lessened, perhaps by some financial arrangements etc.
Remember, most of our ancestors were not overly sophisticated..although probably not as uncouth as what I understand is portrayed here.I haven't seen the movie and will do it with an eye toward writing a few letters...
