A New York businessman who is seen being chased down Fifth Avenue by comedian Sacha Baron Cohen in the film "Borat" is suing over his unwitting bit role in the hit comedy, claiming that his civil rights have been violated. Jeffrey Lemerond, 31, claims in a U.S. District Court complaint that the film depicts him "fleeing in apparent terror" from Borat, the phony Kazakh reporter portrayed by Cohen

Lemerond alleges that Twentieth Century Fox unjustly enriched itself through the unauthorized use of his image.

Jackasses are just trying to mooch off Sacha Baron Cohen's ingenious creation and trying to get some money that he rightfully earned.

They should have a new category during the Oscars "Most sued film". I think Borat would win easily.
