I have noticed that a lot of finance people are into Borat, which is why we write about Borat stuff on BBalle. I have thought long and hard about why that is and these are the things I have come up with:

1. Because you all want to do your sister.
2. Because your sister is number one prostitute in Kazakhstan.
3. You can’t stop saying “Dat’s Niiiiiiice.”
4. You want to “throw a Jew down the well.”
5. You’re a Jew for Jesus.
6. He’s brave; he wears a neon thong — something your crotch just can’t handle.
7. You have no sense of humor, so you just have to leech on to anything that actually IS funny.
8. He makes being racist OK! again. Phew.
9. He makes people look ugly and dumb. So do you.

Why do we? Bit of 6 with a dash of 3.
