Subject: RE: BS: Borat film exploits Romanian gypsies
I disagree with Clinton most of the time on most issues, lox, but I just happen to agree with several things he said about this movie.

As I have said before on this thread, the crucial thing about humour is that it should succeed AS humour...and I believe that Mr Cohen has, for the most part, succeeded in that respect in this case. Has he verged into bad taste at times? Yes. But he has also done some darned good social satire.
