Toilet humour lands comic character Borat in bother

AN AMERICAN man claims he was “accosted” by the star of the spoof documentary Borat — alias comedian Sacha Baron Cohen — while using the toilet at an upmarket restaurant last year, according to a lawsuit.

It is the latest of several lawsuits filed since the release of Borat: Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.

The scene with the man, who was not identified in the lawsuit, does not appear in the hit movie but has been shown on Comedy Central and various video-sharing websites, said Columbia lawyer Jonathan Milling.
