"Borat" Extras Are Totally Going To Fuckin' Sue



IMDB says that the Romanian villagers who acted as Borat's fellow impoverished mongrels are going to sue the shit out of Sascha Baron Cohen for portraying them as...um...impoverished mongrels:

"Gypsy citizens of Glod are outraged that Cohen ridiculed their lifestyle in Borat: Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan, which has topped international box offices, and paid them a pittance to allow farm animals into their homes. Local leader Nicolae Staicu will meet with a public ombudsman today to formulate legal action against Cohen and distributor 20th Century Fox. Staicu accused the producers of paying locals just $4 to perform degrading acts, misleading the village into thinking filming was for a documentary and refusing to sign proper filming contracts. Resident Dana Luca, 40, says, "We thought they came here to help us - not mock us. We haven't got anything here. We haven't got running water. We can't even bathe. We are poor people, but we are still people."

When asked to comment, Cohen responded by laughing hysterically and continuing to roll around on a bed made of money.
