The law for my enemies

December 8, 2006 1:51 PM

The latest installment in the saga of our Borat correspondent:

"One of the plaintiffs was forced to resign from his prominent position at the University of South Carolina chapter of Chi Psi. Along with barring the DVD release, the plaintiffs were seeking unspecified monetary damages."

An attorney representing 20th Century Fox, a unit of News Corp., questioned the plaintiffs' claim they were too drunk to understand the release forms.

Didn't we have that same problem on MeFi just a few days ago?

Maybe he's the keg "Chill Meister" or the "Pimp Daddy Wingman" for his "low flying bros" who "pull those skanks from Delta Gamma."

I totally can't wait until TSG gets these guys' names. I'm looking forward to more specific humiliation, ridicule and mental anguish.

Well, I'm not sure you're right about which saga this is part of, given that the person who those questions were about has claimed not to be involved in the lawsuit. (Assuming that this is true, of course.)

Yeah, I think that "our" Borat frat boy took the high road: an ABC Exclusive Interview.
posted by footnote at 3:38 PM on December 8, 2006

Wow. We told "our" frat boy not to do any interviews, because they might make him look like a douche. He does an interview with ABC, and they make him look like a douche. Ah well, he can't say we didn't warn him.

yup, kidsleepy (his friend) posted another interview he did, in which he also does a pretty good job of redeeming himself. Plus he's got those cute dimples, it'd be pretty hard to stay mad at him.

I am glad the Borat matchstick of popularity has already fizzled out. And good thing it is a one trick pony. A one shot deal. I like funny and Borat=not terribly funny.

Thanks for posting this. I had a similar contripuketion lined up. Yours was better. Cheers.

Why do people think just because you say something, you believe it?
posted by delmoi at 4:32 PM on December 8, 2006

Because most people aren't crazy internet sock puppets, they're real human beings who say what they mean and mean what they say?

Sure, tkolar, come on over. 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Tell the guard you're here to see "Dubya". He'll send you right up.

So just to review, 1600 Pennysylvania Avenue is a place that contains real human beings who say what they mean and mean what they say?

It contains me, George W. Bush! Ignore all imposters! In this thread and elsewhere!

resign from his prominent position at the University of South Carolina chapter of Chi Psi

Is that like at my old house, where we had a president, and everyone else was a vice president?
posted by mkultra at 7:28 PM on December 8, 2006

I had a Chi Psi pledge for a roommate my freshman year of college.

After that experience, "prominent position in Chi Psi" to me means "doing a keg stand" or "on top of a Gamma Phi Beta sister."

There, that's better.

The Old 'I Am Stupid And I Was Drunk' Defense! Excellent, and probably the same one that George W will use at the War Crimes trials. With considerably more success, no doubt.

Okay...

Real humans never humor each other?

I once drunkenly vowed upon everything that is holy to storm the whitehouse and start urinating on the carpet. This has yet to happen.

Can this whole Borat thing die already please? If I hear one more toolbox do their best "very niiice", I'll ... do nothing about it. But shit if it isn't completely moronic.

Actually, comedy is tragedy with "trag" replaced with "com".
