> they are disgusted by that for some weird reason Sacha Baron Cohen as Borat. He's not the reason, but he perfectly illuminates the reason. The banana-hammock beachwear crosses the line between sexy and sleazy. It's actually worse than just being completely naked--an expression of anti-modesty. And as America is generally more prudish than anywhere else, other than former parts of the Caliphate, the projection of anti-modesty is offensive to us. It's fine to be good-looking, but not to explicitly call too much attention to it. It would actually be better to "accidentally" show off your six-pack abs and bulging quads than to go around singing Right Said Fred songs in a man-thong.
