Not valid examples at all.
I have explained why with the Mel Brooks movie, and the Charlie Chaplin movie isn't even close.

Wrong my man. I am not reading too far into the movie, I am looking at the guy overall and using that info to allow you guys to look at the movie in a new way.
He is a zionist that has made three movies that attack Arabs, Muslims, and Palestinians, Also he tried to create capture an exchange that would hurt a US politician when viewed by the people, a politician that was likely targeted particularly because he doesn't support giving aid to Israel or backing them against Iran. Also he has many Zionist figures on his show, such as Noam Chomsky.
When you look at it as a whole, it becomes clear there is an agenda there. I mean people say I have an agenda from a few posts, Imagine if I spent the money this guy did to point these things out. THATS an agenda.

Is Borat allowed to be aired because of the actors own religion?
Imagine if Borat was a depiction of an Israeli Jew.
It would never ever be aired on TV , or shown in the theatre.
The creator would be charged.
So why the double standard?
It is certainly a dangerous precedent, or perhaps not new to those who are impartial.edit on 11-10-2012 by Dr Expired because: Titleedit on 11-10-2012 by Dr Expired because: clarifying the issue

The OP question is of a 'closed' type...leading, and without shame is an ambush in nature.
The only legitimate questions (given the obvious reverse/reverse, confused questioning) relate to standards within a context not designed to be openly (read...seriously)...contraversial...because they relate to satire...
"It is certainly a dangerous precedent, or perhaps not new to those who are impartial"...
This sentence is transparent in its message...'I am impartial'...yet the poster wishes us to believe they are...
Get a life...

Borat is absolutely hysterical and was created within the confines of a nation in which free speech and expression are protected.
Borat is not filled with hate or creates a scenario where people are enganging in war as a result.
If you don't like Borat, you have thin skin and should not watch Borat.
Let us not forget, Americans.
We may not agree with everyone who produces, prints or speaks in this country, but we must always defend their right to do so.
How does banning Borat in any way make this country better? How does removing smiles make the world a better place?

Borat can make me smile..yes just as a Dwarf being thrown down a bowling lane by a whooping redneck good old boy can make good comedy.
The point is we should respect each other.
We may like to ridicule other cultures but we have to be reasonable about it.
Some people espescially kids are victims of racism and stay stum ....making racism funny perhaps to confused people and espescially kids may somehow legitimise their bullying if the foreigner in a small town for instance.
Racism in all forms should be made a taboo because of respect for all people.
Not just Jews Christians...but for all.

Are you implying that "Borat" reflects the actual geographical location, lifestyle, customs and beliefs of Kazakhstan?

Kazakhstan was regularly mentioned and the sexual deviances of his countrymen were regularly mentioned.
To show how l those who cry for anti semitic anti homesexual literature/movies/tv shows ect to be banned yet those same people condone a right wing Jewish media figure dressing up in a character that offends so many of that nation.
