Great Success!
Via Dlisted, I just found out that the drunken frat boys who were attempting to sue the producers of Borat for depicting them as…well, as themselves.
Two college, frat boys have lost at an attempt to get their scene removed from the film “Borat.†In the movie the boys are depicted as booze guzzling idiots making racial and homophobic remarks. They claim the movie has ruined their reputation and they asked a court to demand the scene they appear in be removed.
The lesson here? If you act like an asshole, be prepared to accept responsibility for it. The Mel Gibson defense seems to work only if you’re Mel Gibson. That’s a good thing, except for the part about Mel Gibson being allowed to blame booze for making comments that he pulled straight from the depths of his own pitch-black soul.
Booze or no booze, these guys behaved like the asshats they clearly appear to be. It’s nice to see that a judge saw fit to uphold that.
(Thanks for the linkage, Mark!)

The Gibson defense would not have worked had he been YouTubed. He’d be deep in Kramer territory.
Oh, and very glad those dipshit fratboys got nailed. One of them was pimping slavery, ferfuxsake.
