    Tafas: Truly?
    T.E. Lawrence: From Oxfordshire.
    Tafas: Is that a desert country?
    T.E. Lawrence: No: a fat country. Fat people.
    Tafas: You are not fat?
    T.E. Lawrence: No. I’m different.

    Hey, I get it: Tomt is I’s metaphorical alter-ego!, in an isolated land filled with dyadic, yet distant, others. And the off-season beach and boardwalk is barren but bland. Imagine that.

    Years ago, I moved to New Orleans with my friend Jim. It was just like this vid. The best part was leaving there for California. But…who cares?

    Or maybe it’s just a clip about Shlebhian writing home to his mother describing his first months in England with his brother Tomt. England is not quite what they had expected and Shlebhian writes of his difficulty in adjusting to British life and isolation in a new culture.

    mike_dixor & C-C & the protagonist is writing to his mother whom he has left with a disillusioned tone that is replaced by feeble hope when he says “I have met” a women who dislikes his face. He ends wondering about how his father did it. Very common themes in the realms of geekdom, whether allegorical or forthright, facetious or serious. I think this is the personal frontier that many young people today find themselves on, an isolated one. Maybe someday there will be something equivalent to a Vets Club for those who never socialized successfully.

    Never said I like Borat. U R doing straw man fallacy. Borat is 1 long insult, just like this video - insulting East Europeans, while ‘Borat’ insults Western Europeans & Americans - mocking them 4 being friendly & tollerant with foreigners in their nations - unlike Israel (where that kike who plays Borat/Ali G was spawned), where hate overflows non stop 4 every1

    Borat ripoff - boring. Next time put Joanne in it, in a pretty dress, prancing along the beach - then it’ll B BRILLIANT! =)

    Hmm, is it just me or does this film perpetuate the slightly racist stereotype of poor, naive, east European immigrants coming to the West and expecting to find wealth and happiness?

    how is this offensive to eastern Europeans? it never mentions a single country of origin. and borat…. thats like saying batman is like the blues brothers because they both have guns and cars in lol!
    i think its a brilliant *short* film. 2 people turning up somewhere and realizing its terrible, what do you want from 3minutes clash of the titans or another short horror with a predictable catch.

    4/5* for me.
    these guys done anything else?

    ohh an before the savage attack, my comments are meant to be lighthearted but more importantly i just noticed the racist comment?!?!

    **Trenton Weir**
    “Hmm, is it just me or does this film perpetuate the slightly racist stereotype of poor, naive, east European immigrants coming to the West and expecting to find wealth and happiness?”

    i can see the obvious stereotype but racist? i think the only political comment (if you can call it that) made here is that England is a bit shit, and London is full of wankers.

    isn’t that technically treason if their British lol??
