'Borat' filmmakers sued by driver's ed instructor

If you've seen Borat, you probably remember the scene: Borat, played by Sacha Baron Cohen, goes to a driving school and takes a driving lesson. During the lesson, he makes ethnic slurs, discusses the relative brain size of women, drives on the wrong side of the road, and offers the driver of a passing car money to "make sexy time".

Well now the driver's ed coach, Michael Psenicska, is suing the filmmakers, saying that they misrepresented the nature of the film when he signed the waiver.

He's asking for $100,000 and frankly, given the success of the film and his fairly prominent role in it (the straight man in a pretty long scene), it seems like a reasonable request.

And do the filmmakers really think that describing Borat as a documentary about the integration of foreign people into the American way of life is a fair and complete description?

Just give the guy his $100,000. It's fair.
