Worst Lede Of The Week- 12.13.06
December 13th, 2006 by Justin
Guess which one of these recent Borat ledes is the worst of the week…
A South Carolina man is suing Ristorante Divino, saying managers allowed a “Borat” cameraman to film him in the restaurant’s bathroom.

An American man claims he was “accosted” by the star of the spoof documentary Borat - alias comedian Sacha Baron Cohen - while using a bathroom at an upmarket restaurant last year, according to a lawsuit.
OR
As the esteemed Kazakh television journalist Borat Sagdiyev might say: “High Five. Sexy Time. You Lose.”
If you threw up a little bit in your mouth when you read number three, you correctly selected the Worst Lede of the Week. Congratulations anonymous Reuters writer, your awkward attempt at incorporating referential humor into a legal story is admirable in that “retarded child tries to ride a bike” way.
