How can one not love Borat??
Edited on Fri Oct-13-06 09:32 AM by BigMcLargehuge
How can a fictional character get so much international press and STILL remain fucking hilarious?

<snip>

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - The comedian known as "Borat" appeared briefly in Amsterdam Thursday, praising the city's freewheeling nightlife and defending his portrayal of the central Asian country of Kazakhstan. Borat boasted of picking up a date at a popular Amsterdam bar known as a gay meeting place.

"This woman reminded me of Kazakhi woman, she was more tall than me, with hair on arms, and some hair on face, and deep voice," he told the Dutch press

<snip>

Kazakhstan's government placed four-page advertising inserts in the New York Times and the International Herald Tribune last month, countering Borat's portrayal of the ex-Soviet country as a backward place.

Borat said Thursday the ads were placed by agents of neighboring Uzbekistan and threatened to "commence bombardment of their cities with our catapults," if they do not stop.

Edited to add Borat's hilarious MySpace page.
