oh i'll definitely be seeing the 2nd Jackass flick, too. I just hope they have bits as good as the jewel thieves or golf carts.

oh thank god.

there's also a sad note about it. ... He'll be too popular for the gag to work anymore

Somehow I think his retiring Borat is part of the plan. (Letterman has never been funnier than when he'd go out on the streets of Manhattan in '82 w/ hidden camera and ask "What's in that bag? I'm Mr. Curious" and get ppl rushing away from him.)

jaymc, I can stay out of my house until 12:30 am. But thanks for your concern.

Baron Cohen responded to Ashykbayev in character by posting a video on the Official Borat website.

[...]

Cohen's representatives refused to allow him or his alter ego to respond to the controversy because it's not close enough to the film's release date.

hahahahah between all these great quotes and the "anti-Borat hard-liners" phrase, somebody had fun writing this.

kingfish prætor (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 18:10 (seventeen years ago) link

OMG he kind of has an amazing ass.

In the video, Borat said, "In response to Mr. Ashykbayev's comments, I'd like to state I have no connection with Mr. Cohen and fully support my Government's decision to sue this Jew.

His blatant outpouring then prompted the Kazakh government to hire two public relations firms to counter the claims, and ran a four-page advertisement in The New York Times.

I definitely remember seeing this in the times and thinking wtf!? Why is their an ad from the government of Kazakhstan? I totally didn't put it together.

g00blar (gooblar), Wednesday, 13 September 2006 19:54 (seventeen years ago) link

I am depressed at the idea that the Kazakhstan government is probably correct -- no one has ever heard of this place. And it's the size of Argentina.

What percentage of Kazakhstan's GDP was used to pay for the NYT advert?

S- (sgh), Thursday, 14 September 2006 01:33 (seventeen years ago) link

I keep getting Kazakhstan confused with Turkmenistan in my head, because the latter makes more sense as an object of ridicule.

milo z (mlp), Thursday, 14 September 2006 01:37 (seventeen years ago) link

has everyone checked out the myspace page and the previews?

C+C Music Manufacturing Plant!

There was another fave music listing that cracked me up but I forget and it's not there any more.

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Thursday, 14 September 2006 01:49 (seventeen years ago) link

btw, The New Yorker is having a preview screening of the film. They should have Borat read some Updike beforehand.

Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 14 September 2006 13:04 (seventeen years ago) link

I love how if Khazakhstan hadn't made such a fuss about this people would have been far less likely to associate it with an actual, particular country. "Oh he's kinda Eastern European, huh?"

Eppy (Eppy), Thursday, 14 September 2006 13:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I love how if they hadn't made such a fuss, most people would've assumed he just made it up! I know I did!

God, worse case scenario, like if our President threatens Borat or something, he can just come out and say "OK, I lie, I am not from Khazakhstan but neighboring Turkazikmenia" or something. It'd hardly matter.

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Thursday, 14 September 2006 13:34 (seventeen years ago) link

S.B.C. is one of the best-looking clowns in eons. I'm glad Ali G always kept his legs open while interviewing.

Walking to the bank earlier today, I passed a newsagency that had a 'Who' magazine or something cover out in those metal things they use to hold the front page of the newspapers.

Anyway, on of the topics that appeared to be contained in the magazine was a 'Best & Worst Dressed' list. On the cover were the usual waify trollops, but also this:

Perhaps I should see what they say.

oh yeah, and in regards to the talks with dubya thing, what's this about the kazakh oil fields being on the level of certain middle east countries?

This film has the most brilliant marketing of all time. It just keeps getting better. If I can get a bro to come with me, I think I will make the road trip to Nashville.
