As much as I love MXC for its comic qualities, it is totally inappropriate and really just rude. I agree that they are mocking an entire culture. It reminds me of that whole theory on "Orientalism". Goingsomewear,

I watched the movie Borat because everyone kept raving about and I found it on the web so I watched it for free. So why not? I'm a middle class caucasian and it even insulted me!! I only laughed once. One time! I did not find it entertaining at all. And I'm glad you brought up MXC because I think people just look at it as humourous when really, shouldn't it be more offensive? The show is blatently mocking an entire culture. I find it odd and worrisome that such crap is allowed on tv, in our theatres, and in every other form of mass media.
