My knowledge of American pop culture from summer 2006 to fall 2013 is hazy, at best.
Borat did not make the cut.
Today, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm dropped on Amazon Prime Video.

By 9 a.m. my husband was on the couch in his underwear.
His Borat-a-thon had begun.
HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE BORAT MOVIE?

IS THIS WHAT I LEFT KOREA FOR?
IS THIS WHAT AMERICA IS?

IS THIS WHAT YOUNG PEOPLE LAUGH AT?
DO YOU HEAR ME CRYING?
I AM CRYING BECAUSE THIS IS NOT WHAT THEY TOLD ME AMERICA WAS GOING TO BE LIKE.
I DID NOT RAISE YOU TO BE THE bang out OF PERSON WHO IS DISGUSTING LIKE THIS.
I WANT YOU TO HAVE AN ELEGANT LIFE!!!
I WANT YOU TO LIVE ELEGANTLY!!!
She let me hang up after I promised that Id never watch Borat.
For the record, I still havent.
You could argue that this is sort of me breaking my promise.
Its a very short movie, thank god, my husband said.
At this point, he had put on pants.
Once I saw Justin Trudeau in blackface.
There were also lots of pictures of Donald Trump.
to which Borat says No, its dangerous.
I think Borat runs through CPAC dressed as a Ku Klux Klan member??
It was okay, my husband said.
I dont have as many hot takes about this one so that should tell you something.
He paused a bit and then said, Borat walked so Eric Andre could run.
Would I like this movie?
Amazon made usreschedule our wedding.
Amazon destroyed my tenuous grasp on sanity withterrible Prime Day dealsandserious crimesagainst fashion.
Most egregiously, Amazons streaming service has now inflicted upon me Borat 2, and this blog assignment.
I will not take these slights sitting down, so fuck Jeff Bezos, Im cancelling my Prime membership.
News from the future, delivered to your present.
