One judge was clearly not amused. The other two judges were more adept at hiding their feelings but it was hard not to see the absurdity of the situation as a three-judge panel listened to plaintiff's arguments why their lawsuit against the makers of the movie Borat should go to a jury.
Sacha Baron Cohen: 5 Things You Didn't Know
RadarOnline.com was in Manhattan appellate court on Wednesday when several cases were combined into one appeal. All of the cases center on Sacha Baron Cohen's hit movie Borat, with plaintiffs arguing they were duped into signing a release at the last minute and that they didn't realize the movie was a mockumentary.

The plaintiffs had already lost in lower court rulings but are seeking to have those decisions overturned and the case go to a jury trial.
One plaintiff who showed up was Michael Psenicska, the driving instructor terrorized by Borat's erratic driving. In one classic scene Borat, with Psenicska in the car, yells to a female pedestrian that he'll pay her $10 for "sexy time".
Other plaintiffs represented were etiquette teacher Kathie Martin and Cindy Streit, the owner of an etiquette company. Borat bought etiquette lessons and in the movie, at a dinner party, gets horrified reactions from other diners when he brings a bag of human waste to the table.

The plaintiffs argued the release they signed was not valid. Only one judge was cantankerous in his questioning of his lawyers and did not appear to be a fan of the movie!

Who is Sacha Baron Cohen aka Borat/Ali G/Bruno? Is the comedian closer to his Ali G character, or is he more like Borat from Kazakhstan? Or maybe, Bruno, his latest character, is he real man behind the man…well, you get our thrust.
Ask Men has discovered five things we bet you don’t know about Sacha Baron Cohen.
1- Sacha Baron Cohen used to be an actual male model
Behind the Borat mustache, Ali G do-rag and nude ass of Bruno, is an actual good-looking man. Before becoming a comedian, Cohen worked as a male fashion model and he appeared in a number of fashion magazines. His slim, 6-foot-3 figure does make him perfect for that world. Reportedly, the stint inspired Bruno. Just how much nude model ass did he see before he cracked into the character? We wonder if we'd really like to know the answer to that.

Sacha Baron Cohen's Bruno claimed the top spot at the box office this weekend with a $30.4 million intake, defeating Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which finished second and third, respectively.
Bruno, which follows the antics of a flamboyantly gay Austrian fashion reporter, made half of its money Friday, with a stellar $14.4 million intake; its Saturday ($8.8 million) and Sunday ($7.2 million) totals fell dramatically, but the film still staved off the aforementioned blockbusters for the box office crown.

Sasha Baron Cohen -- better known these days as his alter ego du jour, flamboyantly gay Austrian fashion reporter Bruno -- used an late night staple to promote his film Thursday: David Letterman's top ten list.
Coming out to Wham's Careless Whisper, Bruno gave ten reasons to go see his movie. Some of the more entertaining excerpts included: "Features lots of suggestive worlds like Bratwurst and Schnitzel;" "I'm sorry, I got distracted by how delicious I look" and "Its rated F for 'fabulous.'"
Bruno Is Fagulous!

Bruno is ballsy, hysterical and totally offensive (in the good way). But be forewarned: anyone who isn’t completely comfortable with sexuality and/or homosexuality is in for a shock. Forget Brokeback Mountain — this is the swishiest mainstream movie in history.
Straight guys who consider themselves liberal/homo-friendly were visibly uncomfortable during Bruno, which follows Sasha Baron Cohen’s fictional gay, Austrian fashionista character to America as he tries anything and everything to become famous.
