Do you think Borat is funny or just plain offensive?

Why do you think so? I find a hard time answering this question because he just makes fun of socially constucted things that we been trained to regard as offensive. Nonetheless, certain socially constructed rules of conduct are a good thing. So, I think that it would be good to be offended by certain things he says...if he was actually sincere about what he was saying though.

No i don't think that it's offensive. But it the end it all comes down to ones sense of humour, ethics, and believe. In the film there were things that i know would be offensive to certain groups of people, but to me it was funny because i know that he is only joking/acting. Whether the film is offensive or not will vary depending on who you ask.

its funny but at the same time offensive but then again the funniest things always involve race religion or stereotypes of another nature i mean there would be no eddie murphy, chris rock, martin lawrence if it was unacceptable to make fun of stereotypes i mean look at jeff foxxworthy all he does is preach stereotypes so before anyone says its plain offensive realize that there has always been stereotypes and always will be so suck it up and laugh if you cant laugh at yourself than you cant laugh at all
