"Borat" causes a stir again


"Borat" is still causing problems for Sacha Baron Cohen. Two South Carolina fraternity brothers tried to sue Cohen claiming that the filmmakers got them drunk before they signed a waiver to appear in the film. The fraternity brothers Christopher Rotunda and Justin Seay claimed that they were not aware that the movie was going to be shown in the U.S. and their appearance in the film is causing them a lot of distress because they were embarrassed by their behavior. They filed a law suit asking that their seen be taken out of the film once it is released on DVD. The judge has sided with Cohen and the scene will remain in the film. The film was nominated for an academy award, how bad could it be for these brothers to be part of an Oscar nominated film.
