To Exist, Perchance To Sue
By Lisa Timmons / December 13, 2006
Americans have yet to find an issue that they didn't think would look much better in a law suit. And Sacha Baron Cohen is learning that lesson all too well as a result of his highly successful, yet equally controversial film, "Borat." From Starpulse News Blog:
Sacha Baron Cohen has been hit by a new lawsuit from a man who claims he was "accosted" by the British funnyman in character as Borat in a South Carolina restaurant last year. Footage of the incident, in which Cohen posed as a toilet attendant, did not feature in his hit movie "Borat: Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan," but has appeared on the Comedy Central network and the internet.
I didn't realize that being "accosted" warranted suing someone, but maybe I'm still a little fuzzy on the rules for America's favorite pastime.
