"We do not rule out that Mr Cohen is serving someone's political order designed to present Kazakhstan and its people in a derogatory way."

I have been there. They are most proud of the fact that after the USSR breakup, they retained the largest part of the Soviet arsenal.....sleep tight!

I thought they were bribed by the russians to give it all (or most of it) back, the Ukraine has already, most of it was in such poor condition it couldn't be used anyway. Then again those Kazakhs are wily types...

IIRC the first tiem he did Borat they got offended because his style of moustache was popular in Uzbekistan or something daft like that. I though the sketch where he had a "photo" of him sha99ing his sister was a bit grim

I have spent extensive time in the "Stan" nations over the last 10 years. The people are fantastic, but the "elected" leaders are soviet leftovers. The whole group is an oligarghy. Insults, like the one we are joking about here would get a citizen locked up or worse; their image is all-important.

You can't have decent comdey without upsetting someone. Perhaps he should try it on with the towel heads.

I read some of the links on that news page. Victoria Wood, one of the least funny people on the planet, having the gall to attack Ali-G.

Agree partially, and although I think they are going right overboard, he could have made up a bt place ending in 'stan' for Borat to come from.

Edited to add quotes from his recent MTV awards hosting -

Borat at the MTV Europe Awards 2005

Introduction to the show
"Welcome to the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest."



Following Madonna's performance

"That singer before me. Who was it? It was very courageous of MTV to start the show with a genuine transvestite, he was very convincing. It was only his hands and his testi satchels that gave it away."



Introducing Coldplay

"Next is one of the most famous bands in the world. We all love very much. Please enjoy... Green Day!"



Introducing The Pussy Cat Dolls

"Please prepare yourself for masturbation because next are international singing prostitutes, Pussy Cat Dolls."



After introducing Akon

(Borat whispers to little Kazkhstani child), "quick Akon's on stage, dressing room 8. See what you can take."



Introduction to Gorillaz

"There is one singer called Shakira... sorry I laugh because in Kazakhstan this word means vagina. For example, 'Can I touch your shakira?' or 'I have seen your wife's shakira, it hangs like the mouth of a tired dog."



Introducing Green Day

(Borat is dressed in a very revealing wrestling lycra costume), "Hello it is me, Freddy Mercury. I joking, he die of AIDS. It me Borat, I not a la la loo lee. The only sex disease I ever have is gonoreah. 15 times! The ladies like Borat! Now please welcome Coldplay."



Chatting to co-presenter Brittany Murphy

"Very nice. Whah whah we whah! I imagine you with no clothes. Borat is getting fat."



At the press conference

"My 13-year-old son is travelling here by foot, with his two wives and his three childrens." "If he survives the journey I have promised him that he can make penetration with Colombian prostitute Shakira."

"I look forward to meeting Jennifer Rush, Level 42 and Terence Trent D'Arbay," "Oh and the Thompson Twins."



In interview with the BBC

"My retard brother Vilo is not able to come as he is retarded and his cage would not fit on the plane."

"Unfortunately my wife was unable to leave Kazakhstan as she is a woman... this is a good news, she is a boring. High Five!!!"

"We celebrate with a men's only party in my hotel room where we will play ping pong, wrestle totally nude and shoot dogs from the balcony."


To finish the show

"To the world, I love you! Apart from Uzbekistan. Assholes."
