Laughing At, Not With
-
A bunch of reality TV types from England came to L.A. and advertised a casting call for a new movie, but it was a prank set up to film women basically humiliating themselves for a job, asked to perform as Hitler or in blackface. This is the ultimate result of the Borat-ization of media: picking on the essentially desperate and defenseless. Sure, they could walk out, but they need work. And what they got was not an audition for an actual role but fifty bucks to use the footage in a real movie but as a segment about women who are victims of stunts set up by the lead characters.
