See, this is what I'm talking about...

well sort of...

Humiliated frat boys sue 'Borat' (click for full story)

Apparently some frat boys who appear in the new Borat movie, entitled Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, have sued 20th Century Fox, a unit of News Corp., and three production companies alleging that they were fed alcohol and lied to about the reason for the video cameras.

After their drunken behavior, which supposedly consisted of racist and sexist comments, appeared in the movie, the boys claimed that they "engaged in behavior that they otherwise would not have engaged in".

I AM NOT defending the frat boys, Im just saying you avoid all of this when you do a normal movie where actors are hired to follow a script. Noone is tricked or made a fool of against their knowledge (well usually anyway). Paid actors are willing submit to embarassment. Take Jennifer Aniston in 1993's Leprechaun- She knew exactly what she was doing there! She didn't wake up the next morning with a wicked hangover, and a sloppily signed waiver taped to her forehead!

Add this to the "Talia is correct" list. Thank you.
