I realize I let my politics unnecessarily slip into my
missive, but I believe the thrust of my argument still
stands: I'm not worried so much about a couple racist
Americans who got caught on film, but rather with the
poor Romanians that Sacha Baron Cohen took advantage
of, and is profiting immensely from. They clearly
didn't know what they were getting into when they took
their $6 and agreed to be taped.

It's perhaps ironic, then, that Cohen himself is
extremely private when it comes to *his* personal
life: "He guards his privacy so fiercely that,
according to the U.K. press, his publicists denied not
only that he attended a party for "Borat"'s recent
London premiere, but also that a party even occurred.
(It did.)"
