The joke's on US

I’m a Sacha Baron Cohen fan. And was, therefore, disappointed at myself for taking so long to watch the Borat Kazakhstan movie. It was hilarious. Cohen moves effortlessly from underplayed to over-the-top. What about the reaction the movie received? People were upset at the way Kazakhstan was portrayed. Are they serious!? The joke is not on Kazakhstan, it’s on America! To miss the point so grossly , as media and the world did, is to be in complete denial of the state of the United States. A state that Borat uses Kazakhstan to expose, and with some sangfroid.
