Cant help but notice how this didn’t happen during the Borat series in the UK but America seems to have gone nuts.

and theres probably more to come.
My sympathy is limited but I can see how they might feel stupid :groucho:
The frat boys may just be sore because they look like right twits now to their peers [and would like to save what little face they have left] [my advice would be dont drink boys :laugh_at:]
i cant beleive that college students can sue because they acted like dicks. i mean, i can see that maybe they were duped into signing a release form but that is basically common practice. at least mel gibson didnt try and sue teh LA PD, or whoever it was he embarrased himself in front of.
i get wound up that britain has this sanctimonious “look at the stupid yanks, arent we superior” attitude, i mean, yea, we hear a lot of crazy shit happens over in that country, and it has some of teh harshest laws of a “developed” nation, and it stands for democracy like KFC stands for healthy eating, and it is the biggest threat to world peace right now, but who are we to judge?
look at britain. we backed the US up on their iraqi massacres, we backed israel when they invaded lebanon, we arent speaking out against teh multitude of attrocities that are happening because of our empire and teh problems that it left behind. and look at our laws! you can now be detained without charge for 30 days in this country, you can be arrested for peacefully demonstrating. trhe police can beat you up at raves and never face any consequences. a lot of the country is run by organised crime, and what does your average brit spend their time doing? moaning about the fucking weather. useless wankers, the lot of us. call this a country, im ashamed to call myself british.
rant over.
