There are only a hand full of people who are going to get this one, but how can you pass it up. It will probably cause the film to be pushed back a few months. Of course the things Borat (Shasha Boran Cohen) says about Jews are far worse, but he was doing it in a joking manner. Still I think the Jew thing is going to be too touchy for a while. If they released Borat tomorrow, it would bring about the greatest furor since . . . The Passion of the Christ. At one point Borat goes into a store to purchase a gun, and while talking to the salesman he leans over and companionably and asks if he could shoot a Jew with it. The audience screamed with laughter, especially after what the salesman says. All Gibson would have had to do was wait til he'd torn loose his antisemitic rant and then said "hey I was just kidding - didn't you go to Comic -Con and see a sneak preview of Borat?" And then said, "you know why Jews have big noses?" The moral of the story is that it's okay to make fun of Jews as long as it's just a joke.
