Borat

[M]

I saw Borat last night for the first time. I know it's not up to the minute but fuck me I laughed. In fact I am still sniggering now.

[Animavore]

Funny as fuck. I too watched it on FilmFour. Although I've seen it in the cinema before.

[Chinaski]

He's making another one, this time about Brüno, the gay Austrian fashion designer.

[Chinaski]

"How do you defend yourself against a man with two dildos?"

"What's the baby's name?"
"I gave him a traditional african name. OJ."

[Animavore]

I can't wait to see Brüno

What do you call the feeling, when you feel embarrased for someone for something he has done even though you weren't present nor does it touch you personally in any way, such as when watching Borat, you might feel embarassement for his antics?

[Gawdzilla Sama]

I admit I haven't seen a lot of Borat, my stomach just isn't strong enough. However, I do get the impression that it's the "Amos and Andy" of the 21st C.

I don't know if there's a name for it but, it's something I get strongly when watching something like Jerry Springer or Big Brother to the point I can't watch them for more than a couple of minutes.
It's not something I got with Borat though. I thought it was hilarious.

[M]

And the naked fight scene. Oh my!

So the english language doesn't even have a word for it? No wonder I couldn't find it in a dictionary...

Does your language have a word for it (whatever language that might be)?

[Kristie]

And the naked fight scene. Oh my!

That was disgusting!

Yes, Finnish does have a word for it, it's myötähäpeä.

I can't read that.
Could you write it as it would be spelt and pronounced in English?

[Har]

Probably it would be spelled... myotahapea.
