Brits Love Borat

The British seem to be falling over themselves laughing at the newest Sascha Baron Cohen (Not-One-of-The-Brothers) movie, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorius Nation of Kazakhstan. And judging from some of the comments from these British papers I think I know why...

From the Guardian:

I especially like the way in which it pointedly critiqued US nationalism, religious fundamentalism and bigotry of various kinds

Or From the Daily Mail:

don't think the film would have been as funny had it been set in Britain because part of the fun is watching gullible Americans being taken in by a daft man from Kazakhstan.

Although we have been taken in by a few Americans lately...just ask Tony Blair.
