Jagshemash! Borat Opening Scaled Back

What a mistake. Fox decided to limit the number of theaters where it would be showing Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.

People should see this movie, just to see how Borat is able to bring so many plainly ridiculous reactions out of Americans. Simply put, trying to put up with goofy weirdos like Borat makes people do dumber and funnier things than you might expect.

Part of the joke is that Borat takes on the United States, the world's military and (some would say) moral superpower. We Americans earnestly preach values like tolerance, democracy, capitalism and the like to the world, but Borat is able to show that Americans aren't as perfect as we pretend to be.

But you wonder if Sacha Baron Cohen would be willing to make "Borat's Guide to Britain" as his next film. It would burst the bubbles of some who will want to crow about American hypocrisy after seeing the Borat movie. I'm sure he could find as many dumb, politically incorrect, lazy and ridiculous people in the U.K. as he did in the U.S.
