Borat's Bizarre Adventure

NOTE: I'm just fooling around here.
An ambiguous form floated in the clear blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Amidst the rolling of the waves, the form was quite difficult to make out. But the eagle-eyed captain of the approaching cruise ship managed to notice it just in time—and the cruise was on a direct collision course with the object. Most likely, the form in the water was some sort of marine animal, like a dolphin or a whale. The captain almost decided to ignore the object and carry on: after all, whatever that thing was, it would be no match for the underside of the vessel, which would almost assuredly rip it to shreds.
Still, the idea of nonchalantly plowing through a piece of marine life did not sit well with the captain. People tend to get pissed when you eviscerate dolphins with massive man-made pieces of floating metal, he figured. A real pain-in-the-ass. Enough of a pain-in-the-ass that it likely outweighed the pain-in-the-ass that would result from moving this damn cruise ship out of the fucking way.
So the captain gave the order to adjust course. The dolphin, or whatever that thing was, would catch a break. Not that it mattered to the captain: moral grandstanding aside, the captain figured, no one actually gave two shits about dolphins—it was simply in-vogue to pretend to care about shit.
Kids these days, he thought, shaking his head in disproval. Back in his day, people were not hypersensitive, histrionic attention seekers like kids were nowadays. A dead dolphin was a dead dolphin, not a fucking martyr that you pretend to care about to earn brownie points with your peers.
"Captain Boomer! Come quick!" A young crew member had burst into the observation deck, sweaty and out of breath.
"The hell are you on about, lad? Can't you see I'm in the middle of something?! If this were the old days, I would—"
A scream erupted from outside right as the crew member was starting to recoil from Captain Boomer's diatribe. Captain Boomer stood in silence for a moment before emitting a growl. "This better be fucking good," he spat. The old curmudgeon, who was aptly named Captain Boomer, slowly rose from his chair and exited the observation deck. The crew member led the captain to the side of the ship and pointed at a spot in the water. A spot that was occupied by a man.
The man was floating face up. At first, Captain Boomer did not recognize him. But that infamous visage could not escape him for long: he quickly realized that the man in the water was Borat Sagdiyev, documentary maker turned LAW wrestler.
