PING: The “Borat” ContractURL: http://www.inhouseblog.com/inhouseblog/2006/11/the_borat_contr.htmlIP: 10.0.20.8BLOG NAME: InhouseBlog – News for Inhouse CounselDATE: 11/16/2006 04:33:44 AMBooooooorat! With all the news on pending lawsuits relating to the movie, InhouseBlog thought its readers might want to take a look at the release that was used to dupe the masses. Who says lawyers can’t be fun? Shenqui! Link:

Well, I’m quite put out that several other blawgs have scooped ContractsProf Blog on this burning contract issue, but those of you interested in learning how Sacha Baron Cohen duped people into giving him interviews for his new movie, “Borat,” can find the release on Slate.com.  Those who would like to see what the interlopers have to contribute on this issue can find comments here and here. 

My anger at being scooped is termpered by the realization that I can now justify cancelling class to take my students to see “Borat.”
