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.

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.

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

How sad is this? the film is already banned in his home country, so now his family and his wife and his other wife won't know how famous he is.

the Daily Mail, still having fun:

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.

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.

David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 17 October 2006 14:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Charles, who is also Jewish, insists that revealing hidden prejudices has not just comedic payoff but redeeming social value: ''At one point, we went into a gun store and Borat asks, 'What kind of gun would you recommend to kill a Jew?' This gunstore guy doesn't hesitate: 'I'd recommend a 9mm or a Glock automatic.' That's one of those moments when you're going, Holy s---, that just really happened."

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.
