Of course, Borat made him look like a complete ass. How can I help convince him it's not the end of the world? Last year, a guy came to my town claiming to be filming a documentary for Kazakhstan. He recruited my friend John to be in it. John signed the papers and everything- that's not the issue. However, the producers got John really drunk and he said some things he really regrets that made it to the final cut. John's terrified that everyone's going to see the movie and think he's an awful human being (which he's not). He's very distraught. He feels like he's disgraced his family, he wants to drop out of school, and feels like his life is ruined. How can I help him? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.48312 Tue, 10 Oct 2006 14:35:04 -0800 borat lifeafter movie reality kidsleepy
