It's nice, I like!


Oh ma goodness, I cannot WAIT for the Borat movie to come out...it is sure to be simply sensational. For those of you who aren't familiar with the insane comedy of Sacha Baron Cohen, the story goes something like this: He had an HBO show, Da Ali G Show, where he took on multiple personas including Ali G, a hip hop loving British man, and BORAT, a freaking hilarious foreign man from Kazakhstan. The Borat character is so well loved by all that a movie was made...a movie that is coming out in NOVEMBER! So close...

Anyway, there is a lot of word of mouth flying around about this gem of a film, mostly because the President of Kazakhstan has taken great offense to the obvious parody of his nation, and is appalled at the basis of the film. His outrage is so great that he is flying to America to meet with President Bush about the image of his country. He also was said to be planning "educational" TV and print spots to show the American public that his country really isn't the place Borat portrays it as.

People are EATING THIS UP. In response, a mock anti-Borat site has caught on, and various blogs are having their say on the matter. I have only 3 thoughts on the issue:

1. I can't freaking wait for the movie to come out
2. Why didn't Ireland show commericials when Braveheart came out? I thought everyone there painted their faces all the time until last week.
3. I love this line of the Stop Borat! website: We will not become a William Hung for the international community!

But no matter how the cookie crumbles with the real live Kazakhstan, one thing's for sure: I love the nation thanks to Borat. They should be THANKING HIM!
