There is no larger cultural point to making someone flinch by giving them a chocolate truffle you’ve stuffed with anchovies.

I have to admit, I didn’t really love Borat all that much. Maybe it was partly the overblown hype, but while I guess I could appreciate the anything-for-a-laugh attitude and crazed commitment to character, I ultimately didn’t find it too funny. Then there came the questions of what was and wasn’t staged, who was lied to or portrayed nastily, and the whole thing just left an unpleasant taste in my mouth. I have no real desire to see Brüno, which sounds like much of the same.
