Kazakhstan threatens "Borat" with court
ASTANA (Reuters) - Kazakhstan's Foreign Ministry threatened legal action on Monday against comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, who wins laughs by portraying the central Asian state as a country populated by drunks who enjoy cow-punching as a sport.

Baron Cohen, who portrays a spoof Kazakh television presenter Borat in his "Da Ali G Show", has won fame ridiculing Kazakhstan, the world's ninth largest country yet still little known to many in the West.

Baron Cohen appears to have drawn official Kazakh ire after he hosted the annual MTV Europe Music Awards show in Lisbon earlier this month as Borat, who arrived in an Air Kazakh propeller plane controlled by a one-eyed pilot clutching a vodka bottle.

"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.

"We reserve the right to any legal action to prevent new pranks of the kind." He declined to elaborate.

Cohen's earlier jokes about the Central Asian state include claims that the people would shoot a dog and then have a party, and that local wine was made from fermented horse urine.

"We view Mr. Cohen's behaviour at the MTV Europe Music Awards as utterly unacceptable, being a concoction of bad taste and ill manners which is completely incompatible with ethics and civilised behaviour," Ashykbayev said.

haha...brilliant. Kazakhstan sucks.

seriously. who gives a fuck about Kazakhstan. i bet even kazakhstanians hate kazakhstan. its like that simpsons episode when the germans buy the power plant "we kazakhstanians are not all smiles und sunshine"

I don't like them cause their phone numbering scheme.
it messed up something I wrote once.
damn them!
their country code is sometimes the same as russia and it fucks things up.

Is Khazakhstan the central asian country run by a corrupt warlord or is that Tajikistan?

anything with a "stan" on the end of it should be leveled. and then they should set up half of it as a dirtbike track and the other half with big piles of dog turds for me to pee on.

"Throw the Jew down the well."

misanthrophy > philantrophy

In my country there is problem
And that problem is the Jew
They always taking all your money
And never give it back to you

Throw the Jew down the well
Then my country can be free
You must hang him by his horns
And then we have big party

Borat is king.
