Borat's List of Angry "Victims" Growing

And so is the list of people suing Borat (Sacha Baron Cohen). The DPA is reporting that the villagers in the Borat film, who are actually Romanian villagers, are suing in New York, Florida and, get this, German courts. Again, the main claim is they were misled into appearing in the film. Looks as though the great American tradition of suing is catching on here in Deutschland. Of course, this won't be the first lawsuit filed against "Borat" in Germany. Shortly before it's release in Germany, two lawsuits were filed here to stop the film from being shown because it allegedly incited racial and ethnic hatred.
