NEW YORK, April 3 (UPI) -- A New York judge tossed out a defamation lawsuit filed by a man seen fleeing and yelling at faux Kazakhstan journalist Borat in the movie of the same name.
In "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan," New York businessman Jeffrey Lemerond is shown running from and yelling "Go away" as Cohen's character chases him in an effort to hug strangers, the New York Post reported.
The judge said the 2006 hit movie used a brand of humor appealing to the viewers' childish and vulgar senses, while providing ironic commentary.
In the movie, Kazakh TV commentator Borat is sent to the United States to report on the country.
