...often, when you see a pretty woman sitting alone at a cafe in Bangkok, it's easy to assume she's a hooker - even though it often turns out that she's a lawyer or an investment banker or a software executive. But in this sex-saturated city, where the red-light district is not a district as much as a web of go-go bars that covers the entire city, the rush to judgment is understandable.

SAVANE OPENS WITH A FEW NOTES on a single-stringed African violin. Then Touré comes in with a guitar riff worthy of onetime boss John Lee Hooker, and Pee Wee Ellis, James Brown's ex-saxophonist, blows on through.

Along the way, the hidden cameras capture a Southern dinner party's dismay with Borat's bathroom habits, and the guests' reaction on the arrival of his date--a black hooker. All the marks are unaware they're being fooled, which is hard to believe, especially when a gun dealer responds to the question "What kind of a gun would you recommend to kill a Jew?" with a nonchalant "I'd recommend a 9-mm or a Glock automatic." (Baron Cohen...
