Our favorite Kazakstani, Borat (lovingly played by Sacha Baron Cohen, of the Ali G fame) could be in trouble… Kazakhstan’s Foreign Ministry has threatened legal action for portraying them in a derogatory way. The article goes on to say:
“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,” Kazakh Foreign Ministry spokesman Yerzhan Ashykbayev told a news briefing.
It’s called humor, you cow-punching twats, get over it.
High fiiiiiiive!

What you won’t learn from Borat:
3. Despite Borat’s suggestions that, in Kazakhstan, people hunt bears “for fun”, hunting is no longer a popular pastime. The ancient custom of hunting with eagles, however, has been revived in the past few years, after being discouraged by the Soviet regime.
[[Now that's UnAmerican]]
10. Traditional beshbarmak consists of boiled horseflesh on big noodles.
[[Ummm..]]
32. Borat’s wish to “Throw the Jew down the Well” is shared by some Kazakhs. Although President Nazarbayev denies that anti-Semitism exists, inflammatory articles have appeared in the populist Kazakhskaya Pravda newspaper decrying “the Zionists” and “International Jewry”.
[[Sounds like Borat]]
46. Wife-stealing is a common way of securing marriage. A man kidnaps a woman whom he wants to marry, and her parents are left with no option but to negotiate a reasonable dowry.
[[Downright crafty..]]
