Borat’s Straight Men

USA Today has a bloggish article on some of the ordinary people who were suckered into appearing on camera with Borat in Borat. Me, I think everyone involved actually came off pretty well — except those three drunken, swillish fraternity brothers near the very end of the picture. And, OK, the rodeo guy who offered him advice on not looking like an ay-rab. (And there’s no way Borat got a potato sack over Pamela Anderson’s torso without getting permission in advance, although those security guards who slam him to the asphalt afterward really don’t seem to be in on the joke.)
