Your attitude that they are responsible for their own choices is just a cover, for your indifference to them. Your high little horse, seems to have NO requirements for Mr Borat. He can lie to them. That is fine in your little world. He can misrepresent but hey... They signed the release! But are they required in your, little horse, world, to know what they are signing, to know what is being made of the images, or is just a simple X on a piece of paper enough for you. Screw em, they signed.

That's a very Democrat-esque attitude. "They're poor so they didn't know any better."

If anybody wants to know what's really going on here just look at the timing of this lawsuit. The Borat movie has been playing at film festivals and premiers all over the world since late summer. Previews and clips of it have been all over the internet for months, including the scenes from the gypsy village. Nobody complained about any of it and nobody said a word about them being "exploited" then. Nobody tried to get the film stopped out of concern for these villagers, even though they knew exactly what was coming. No reporters went to Glod to do a pity piece about the villagers there, or how they were "cheated" or "misled."

The lawyers and reporters and other self appointed do-gooders only showed up AFTER it opened at the U.S. box office and became the top grossing film for 2 weekends in a row. There's a reason for that and it involves a dollar sign.

Doesn't change the facts buddy, your man Borat lied to them about what he was doing, and covered it, made it all okay, by getting a sig. on a piece of paper. The fact that they get angrier the more people see it, is perfectly understandable to me. Spare me the hiding behid conservative liberal verbiage. He screwed them over, callously made fun of their ignorance and poverty. You laugh and invoke conservatism.
