Before people never knew it existed.<br />She should enjoy the attention while it still lasts!<br /><br />But I can imagine how it would annoy me if someone portrayed south africa as being some 4th world, barbaric country, even if its with great humour behind it.phenwww.phenerics.chnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21578561.post-9733008807147382732006-11-08T01:24:00.000+01:002006-11-08T01:24:00.000+01:00my friend Aliya is Kazakh and can't bear Borat anymore now because everyone takes badly the piss out of her and her compatriots. but then she keeps asking me to go and see it so i can tell her everything!!

I fail to consider a person laughing because the illegal Mexicans he just hired to build something at his house are tossed around while being transported in the back of a pick up truck because he just cleaned the trucks interior.<br />Context and persona define how far humour can go, clearly in this case neither the context nor the persona induce the idea that this is suppose to humorous. I guess this person just shows us the step that should not be taken to cross from humour to humiliating fellow human beings.<br /><br />Thx for your comment74Z4http://www.blogger.com/profile/07575119249206196890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21578561.post-63389330725933263082006-11-07T10:23:00.000+01:002006-11-07T10:23:00.000+01:00Theres a couple comedians out there that do the same. The best in my opinion is Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock's Stand up.<br /><br />There are some extreme videos floating around youtube and stuff, for example the crazy racist. He for example takes it in my opinion too far (sometimes, most of the time its actually quite funny).<br /><br />What is your opinion on that taza? Maybe write about racism jokes going too far? if you think thats even possible that is ;-)phenwww.phenerics.chnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21578561.post-1172383981941594572006-11-06T14:02:00.000+01:002006-11-06T14:02:00.000+01:00taza,<br />I find your take on this guy really "interesting." You are incredibly wise to see his humor from that point of view. Often it takes someone looking at us from the outside for us to see the truth. Bravo for your insight and your ablility to look at this in such a positive way. Your comments were very articulate, interesting to read and made alot of sense. Good idea this blog.
