Borat wins – again!



Borat Learns to Drive

A judge in New York has recently dismissed a number of lawsuits against comedian/writer Sacha Baron Cohen and 20th Century Fox, E! Online reports.

The lawsuits were filed by two etiquette instructors and a driver’s ed teacher (Check out the video above!), who appeared in Cohen’s low-budget comedy “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.”

In their lawsuits, the three plaintiffs claimed that the filmmakers had used deceitful methods to get them to appear in the movie. But since all three had both signed release forms and accepted money for partaking in the film, the judge dismissed the lawsuits, according to E! Online.

This is not the first time people, who appeared in the movie, have taken the makers of “Borat” to court. Two of the three University of South Carolina students, who Borat hitched a ride with in the movie, filed a lawsuit about two years ago claiming they were tricked into signing release forms while drunk. They also said they had been assured that the movie would not be shown in the U.S, according to TMZ.com. That lawsuit was dismissed in February 2007.

    Unfortunately, some people are too stupid to leave their house. Take money, sign a LEGAL document, then sue.
    And three of them! I weep.
