When it comes to filing lawsuits, better late than never – right?

Even though the film was released over a year ago, the creators behind Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan are still hearing from disgruntled parties.  This time around, it’s the driver’s ed instructor who is seeking to regain his 15 minutes of fame.

Michael Psenicska follows the lead of several other participants who didn’t like what they had to see in the final print.  Ironically, the instructor – who calmly did his best to keep Borat’s comments and driving in line – is now making himself look bad with this poorly timed claim.  (Other suits have been filed by the obnoxious frat boys, the etiquette teacher and villagers from Romania.)

Although he signed a waiver and received $500 for his appearance, Pscenicska claims he was misled about the purpose of the filming.  He asserts he only intended to be involved in a ‘documentary about the integration of foreign people into the American way of life.’  Now he is asking actor Sacha Baren Cohen and 20th Century Fox (amongst others) for compensatory and punitive damages.

I wonder if a cut of the DVD profits would help cure his ‘emotional suffering’...
