See full version: Who Is America?: What Sacha Baron Cohen s non-famous subjects say about who we are now
First Sherman presents Jilla, whose expertise is self-declared, to sample an artfully re-imagined amuse-bouche version of beans and toast. All fine and good. The second course is more challenging: Sherman presents braised veal in a strawberry flavored condom — Anally-Aged Veal in a Strawberry Prophylactic, reads the onscreen script — replete with a colorful tale about a fellow inmate's creative efforts to smuggle in a prime cut of meat.
Now place Sacha Baron Cohen and the work he’s been doing on “Who Is America?” into the context of this aphorism. If you’re familiar with the show and everything he’s accomplished in the six episodes that have aired so far, you should be very afraid for our future. more
Lately some version of the saying, “the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing” has been popping up all over the place. Sign of the times, one can say, and an indicator of the dire lens with which a number of people view the current state of our democracy. here
“Who Is America?” has shown us many jaw-dropping moments and has no more significant purpose than to entertain viewers and embarrass people in power. Granted, by no means does Baron Cohen treat the political left and the right equally regardless of how ridiculous the adventures of his hyper-liberal Dr. Nira Cain-N’Degeocello can become. more

The Marine Survey is an important aspect of boat buying and boat ownership. All too often, there is a negative stigma around getting a Marine Survey. However, when instead recast as both an important “safety tool” and as a critical step in a thorough pre-purchase process, the Marine Survey can be viewed as the important safety and boat inspection tool that it is.

I think they deliberately didn't name some of the marks on the show to make them less likely to sue. Think about it, at the moment if a possible client googles the broker's name, Who is America won't show up. If he sues, suddenly anyone who googles his name will discover the court case and then the video. more
Have you not seen the show?
That was from one of the later episodes, Borat sits in a hotel with a luxury yacht sales rep and talks about using the boat for human trafficking and the rep is all " yep, lots of our rich buyers keep human cattle!" and it's never mentioned again.
It's pretty weird that they didn't make that public, have any sleuths been able to find out who that guy is? more
I don’t think the yacht broker caught the subterfuge anyway
