Borat goes Big Red

I am not creative enough to come up with my own Ali G-type character; I’ll leave the handy work to Sacha Baron Cohen. However, there is plenty of potential to film at Cornell with the three characters Cohen's already created. Sort of a take off on Bruno and the wrestlers on Spring Break, Borat with C.U. frat boys might make for a good clip.

Something that might be funny or perhaps ironic about this combination is that the bigoted comments Borat makes regarding women and different ethnic groups is definitely the type of talk I’ve heard in frat houses from time to time. Certainly, Borat’s version of things is a lot more exaggerated than the mutterings of even the drunkest fraternity brother, but the sentiments are there.

Borat Does Cornell would take place on “Club Sidewalk,” a term affectionately used to describe the corner of College Ave. and Dryden at around 1:15am when the bars have let out. The corner becomes the hottest spot in town when hundreds of drunk college students go after their drunk munchee pizza. Club Sidewalk is the closest thing to a “meat market” that really exists at Cornell – with bars closed, the options are to go home, or to go home with someone else. Borat on Club Sidewalk, playing wingman to some fraternity brothers, might reveal some frightening similarities.
