Where is it on youtube; it is under his name?  Where do I find comments?

Jody,

I thought the same thing.

Did anyone else read the comments on YouTube? Moast people thought it was
funny. And it kind of was while simultaneously being crude. Sure, there are
plenty of movies, skits, whatever, that play on the stereotypes of certain
racial groups and minority groups. Borat comes to mind. However, I don't
find those funny and I'm sure some folks are just as offended.
