“It could be. I thought there were some offensive things in ‘Borat.’ Perhaps. Those shorts that he’s wearing in the movie poster, now those are offensive.”

ANDREW HARTMAN, 41

“I can assume that it will be offensive across the board to a lot of folks.”

EILEEN O’BRIEN, 38

“It’s hard to say. I don’t really know, because I haven’t seen it. But I think that the gay population might get the humor in it. Again, I’m not quite sure.”

TED FERRIS, 39

Utica, N.Y.

“I’ve heard from a lot of my gay friends that they think it will be offensive and that it’s going to really play on negative stereotypes.”
