My Speehes on Kazakhstan Embassy. Here is what I say.

Jagshemash, my name Borat Sagdiyev. I would like comment on recent advertisements on television and in media about my nation of Kazakhstan, saying that women are treated equally, and that all religions are tolerated – these are disgusting fabrications. These claims are part of a propoganda campaign against our country by evil nitwits Uzbekistan – who as we all know are a very nosey people, with a bone in the middle of their brain.

There is a man name Roman Vasilenko who is claiming to be Press Secretary of Kazakhstan. Please do not listen this man, he is Uzbek imposter, and is currently being hunted by our agents. I must further say on behalf of my government, that if Uzbekistan do not desist from funding these attacks, then we will not rule out the possibility of military intervention.

If there is one more item of Uzbek Propoganda claiming that we do NOT drink fermented horse urine, give death penalty for baking baigels, or export over 300 tonnes of human pubis per year, then we will be left with no alternative but to commence bombardment of their cities with our catapaults.

Furthermores, all claims that our glorious leader is displeased with my film, 'Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan' is lie. Infacts main purpose of Premier Nazharbayev's visit to Washingtons is to promote this moviefilm. This why together with Ministry of Information he will be hosting a screening tomorrow evening, to which he have invitate Premiere George Walter Bush and other American dignitaries - Donald Rumsfeld, Bill Gates, OJ Simpson and Mel Gibsons.

This screening will be followed by cocktail party and a discussion of closer ties between our countries at Hooters.

Thank you, I must now return to Embassy where my government need me.

US President George W. Bush(R) shakes hands with Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev during a meeting in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC. Bush chose not to publicly confront Nazarbayev on human rights, as the oil-rich Central Asian giant's leader visited the White House.(AFP/Mandel Ngan)

At the white house, talking to un-amused security.

Also, i didn't know that the Baikonur Cosmodrome was in Kazakhstan.

Nazarbayev has sought to raise the profile of the oil-rich former Soviet republic and assure the West that, contrary to Borat's claims, his is not a nation of drunken anti-Semites who treat their women worse than their donkeys.

lolol

The main hobbies in Israel are dreideling and drinking the blood of gentile children.

then there's this, about the ADL raising concerns...

He ventures deep into unmediated America, spot-tests some big, surprisingly ambitious sociological theories, then wrestles a fat guy naked.

it's getting the best reviews that i've ever seen for a comedy.

12 for 12 is nice & all, but it'd be a better barometer of its widespread acceptance w/ more Variety-type raves and less JoBlo.com and CliffYablonski.edu raves.

"We went out, came back in with the cameras, he wouldn't do it!"

Yeah, It's kinda hard to take the web, um, critic seriously when their quote reads:

"There are a lot of blue state folks who are offended by Cohen's portrayal of Kazakhstan as a backwards country of idiots. Hopefully, Cohen will find a way to make fun of these fun-hating cretins in his next picture"

Liberals hate comedy. These emo-terrorists want nothing more than to destroy our laughter. Never forget.

Despite that, I love Borat and I can't wait to see the film.

Nothing more than that? :-/

I'm surprised that so few of you have any sympathy for the Kazachs concern

The concern seems for the most part to be coming from the government, who are a bunch of tools to start with.

xpost - It seems a decent idea to have non-poisonous views even on nations that don't depend on tourist Dollars (Iraq springs to mind :)
