Villagers threaten suit against Borat producers

Here’s the complete story.
But now the villagers of this tiny, close-knit community have angrily accused the comedian of exploiting them, after discovering his new blockbuster film portrays them as a backward group of rapists, abortionists and prostitutes, who happily engage in casual incest.
…
Disabled Nicu Tudorache said: This is disgusting. They conned us into doing all these things and never told us anything about what was going on. They made us look like primitives, like uncivilised savages. Now they,re making millions but have only paid us 15 lei [around £3].
I’m confused. Are they offended that they are portrayed as “rapists, abortionists, and prostitutes” or that they weren’t paid enough? Reading this story, it seems to be the latter. I think their priorities are just a little askew.

I’d like to see them prove they’re not “backward” in the sense implied. As for the rest, it was humour and any fool should be able to see that.
It would have been “nice” to have paid them a decent amount or contributed to a schools fund etc.
Personally I thought the frat boys were hysterical. They may have been rarked up but no one forced those words out of their mouths
