Borat movie debut marred by German lawsuits - GoFuckYourself.com

Man, the Germans need to learn how to take a joke.
Whenever I have been in Germany, many ppl seem so serious and uptight,
which I why I like the neighboring countries like Holland & Denmark a lot better. Chill people, it's called satire!

check it:

The lawsuits accuse the German distributors of the film, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment Germany, of violating strict post-war German defamation laws. The laws, enacted in the wake of Nazi atrocities against Jews, gypsies and other minorities, make it a criminal offence to disseminate anti-Semitic and racist views.

Representing gypsy interests, the Hamburg-based European Centre for Antiziganism Research filed one of the lawsuits. The other was filed by an anonymous person, according to authorities in Hamburg.

Both lawsuits accuse British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen of disseminating hate propaganda.

'We are accusing him of defamation and inciting violence against Sinti and Roma,' said Marko D Knudsen, chairman of the Antiziganism centre, which takes its name from the term for hostility towards gypsies.

gooddomains · 11-03-2006, 10:50 AM

the just abuse the law in favour of their opinion

European Lee · 11-03-2006, 10:57 AM

But you know what, they will win.

The laws are extremely strict in Germany when it comes to racist remarks, whether in jest or for real.

In fact, im really suprised that France wasnt the first country to do something about it.

Regards,

Lee

Yep, satire doesnt go down to well in Germany. And they think the brits dont have a sense of humour

Sacha Baron Cohen is jewish FFS.

So now we have germans accusing a Jew of anti-semitism?

you win the prize for the lowest IQ on the board - congrats!

but it's somehow funny to see the lack of humor some people have - i think it's a great movie and anyone who doesn't like it should simply not watch it
