I have to admit, i know i'm in the minority here, but i'm not sad about this..i found it totally annoying/obnoxious-- i never really 'got' the humor in his characters..but regardless, pretty big entertainment news!

I have to say that I have no love lost for the stupid borat or the stupid Ali G, I found the reverse racism and stupidity not funny in the least. It would have been easy to get drawn into them and forgive the characters he developed as he was "using Ali G" to make fun of dignitaries and high profile people, but somehow I saw beyond the obvious, something I did not like. I can't quite put my finger on it.

It's pretty unkind humour, and I got tired of it very quickly too. It was also very repetitive and tedious at times. No, I'm not so sorry about this either.
