Good news for Borat. A NY judge threw out three lawsuits filed by a driving instructor and two etiquette school teachers who said the makers of the movie "Borat" deceived them.

Judge Loretta Preska says all three accepted money and signed agreements releasing the filmmakers from liability. She noted in a Sept. 3 ruling the agreements said the plaintiffs consented to appear in a "documentary-style" movie.

Lame! How the F do you sue a movie for "deceiving" you? It's a comedy, what do you expect?
