That is so fucked up. I admit I liked the film but if SBC really used the villagers that way, I'm probably going to change my mind about that.

I know the frat guys are suing him too, along with God knows how many other but honestly, I feel a fair bit more sympathy for these people. They've just got it worse.

One person responded with the following:

"You're completely right Curt Clayton. In the article it says that of the 1,000 residents of Glod only 4 have jobs and the rest is on welfare. But you are right Curt, people are making the world a little better by taking welfare from people who are actually working. What article were you reading? This movie was shown in places where 97% of the population couldn't show you on a map where Romania is. No one cares who they are or what their problems are. Why do we have to be so politically correct? This was to be funny. They got paid and should be happy. How can someone that poor and in such a remote part of the world have any humilitian left in them? Why are they making a big deal? Maybe we should concentrate on bigger issues here people. Such as banning "Indian" names as sports mascots. Or Banning Huckleberry Finn from our public schools because of the language. Those are the "real" issues at hand. If you guys are so concerned about poverty, then donate your money. Otherwise eat your words because you could care less about poor people in a remote part of the world.

To the students suing them: You're idiots. If you don't want to be portrayed as drunkards, then don't be a drunkard. Your true self comes out when you think no one is looking."

The real problems are banning Huckleberry Finn and Indian names from Sports teams? WTF? LOL

Nothing suprises me anymore. I don't care to see this movie. I didn't before any of this stuff came out and I still don't after seeing the actor interviewed. It just looks like "jackass" type movie and I won't waste my time.
