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.

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.

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 :)

How does that make it worse? If a small group of people who didn't know or care that Kazakhstan existed before now have an incorrect view of it - who was harmed? They never would have patronized Kazakhstan and its industry, nor are they in a position to guide policy toward Kazakhstan. For all intents and purposes, Kazakhstan is as real to them as Hobbitland.

maybe it's cause it was so ridiculous that you know that his attitudes were exaggerated and untrue and maybe because at some point, you realize that many of the americans he meets are keeping pace with his character's fucked up attitudes... and kind of half wondering, "are these people for real or are they actors?" and even if they are actors, you know the attitudes they're expressing are completely real... unlike the exaggeration cohen's playing.

One person who is likely to regret the day he met Borat is Tennessee rodeo manager Bobby Rowe, who is cajoled by the comedian into making disparaging remarks about Muslims and homosexuals.
A phone call to Mr Rowe and an enquiry about whether he is the person in the movie elicits a slow, painful reply: "Yeah, I'm the same one."

"And so I don't do any interviews over the dadgum phone any more. This phone rings 10-12 phones a day.
Cohen must have struggled to make this guy look stupid.
