All Of Kazakstan Hates You
Just how offensive do you have to be before a nation tries to sue you?
I've often wondered about that myself, but my talents run more toward vile ad hominem attacks than sweeping assassination of an entire people's character. But now Kazakhstan - the country, Kazakhstan, home to the feared and noble Cossacks, some of the haughtiest and fiercest warriors on earth - is trying to sue English comedian Sacha Baron Cohen for his portrayal of Borat, a faux-Kazahstani who describes his people as ignorant drunks and horsehumpers.
Which is awesome.

I heart Borat.
I heart Borat.
One I just saw was him trying to get a job. He described his previous career in animal masturbation, and was thrilled when he was told that if he was hired he'd get a light in his office.
Hi-larious.
The Kazakhs need to lighten up.
I too love Borat. Did you see
I too love Borat. Did you see the one where he went to a dating service in Atlanta and explained to the nice lady that he was seeking a woman who "must be...tight... like a boy's... aah-noose." I have never seen a more scintillating display of Southern composure and social charm than in the woman's steely reserve as she gently told Borat that American dating services had different attributes and values in mind.
I suppose it's cruel to think hoaxes like that are funny, but there you go. I could watch Ali G interviewing "My main mon, Boutrous-Botrous-Boutrous-Boutrous Ghali" all day long.
Didn't see that one, but now
Didn't see that one, but now wish I had.
I remember one where he was at an event, some rally or such, talking to these men and trying to pat their cocks in greeting. He explained that "In Kazakh-stahn, is ok...how we touch the...the...chram...as 'hello'..."
I cried.
I think the thing with Ali G or Borat is, how the ever-lovin' *f* does that cat keep a straight face through it all? I just marvel at his discipline and control.
Of course, the one where Andy Rooney goes bananas on him is a classic.
