Borat first times on ITV news channel in Londons of Britain Empire at United Kingdoms!
A voice in the video say that he a spoof character - this simply disgusting fabrications made by Uzbeki govenment! DO NOT BELIEVE!
Then a clip shown from a movie premiere where Borad arrive to movie preview by horse hauled cart!
It very ridiculous in British Empire - a woman can be a journalist! We say in Kazakhstan - to let a woman be journalist is like to give a monkey a gun!
Include a scene from feminists in United States.
There are lies that Kazakhstan is shown in bad light. This lies propogated by evil nitwit Uzbekistan who are anti-Kazakhstani.
Kazakhstan people very proud of Borat. Even president Nazarbayev went to Washington to promote the films!

Setting the Borat issue straight on Behalf of Kazakhstan
Like millions of Americans I have seen the Borat movie but unlike many I have been to Kazakhstan — also spelled Kazakstan — and I want to set the record straight. Kazakhstan is a wonderful country with customs that are both foreign and familiar to ours. In fact, there are many things I would take back to America. Borat (Sasha Cohen) has made this country look like it is populated with nothing but slovenly, unwashed, immoral, uneducated people – this is almost completely false in my experience. No, they don’t have an Ivy League educational system but these people for the most part are good-hearted and, if not well-read by our American standards, they do love storytelling. They ritually gather at village centers – usually this is where bartering and exchanges are conducted for food and services - and they share their knowledge by applying the oral tradition (please let’s not lower ourselves to the Boratian ‘oral’ jokes here). Yes, their technology is not at the state where ours is yet so they compensate with conversation, face to face. I’d actually like to see more of this in our world versus the faceless interchange of the internet. We might be a happier people. This helps their families stay close – and, again to refute Borat’s incest insinuations, this is not a national sport and I saw very little there to give one pause to consider it is more than a rare occurrence which is indeed not looked well upon even in the most rural stretches. These are a happy people with great values. No, Borat, they do not make their 8 year old children work by force. And women can vote in all elections. Legal age to wed is up to the families themselves. They are not a race of anti-Semites - they have a small Jewish population of over 170 who are situated by their own free will to live in a ghetto. But this is common: America and the world are replete with communities where people of similar backgrounds and mindsets gather and create neighborhoods – we have all been to Chinatown, Little Italy, Germantown. The food in Kazakhstan is some of the best tasting I have ever had in all my travels; always fresh. You cannot believe what they do with their vegetables and their goats (although Borat only highlights the sexual engagements – another exaggeration at their expense. I never saw anything like what the comedian speaks of. But let us not be so self righteous to forget about our own iconic cowboys who have gotten lonely on the trail — and the stories about them and cattle – rumors as well, I’m sure.) The people of Kazakhstan are indeed passionate and excellent dancers – Borat showed us that and the men do generally dance with great fanfare with each other as he indicated but again this is not unlike many countries. Most of all, I would take home to America the laughter and kindness of these simple people – they tell jokes all day on all subjects especially special family events. If your daughter is married in Kazakhstan, she is not sold for a VCR with a remote control like Borat says – and, remember, in America many brides’ parents still offer dowries or at least pay for the wedding so we are not really so different. The bride, as is the custom of Kazakhstan, is always asked to work for both families – this brings everyone closer. During the days she might, for example, work at the dairy or farm and nights she might sew or cook or clean and it is not uncommon for the young bride to have a say in the family financials. One fact to consider is that women in Kazakhstan do not live as long as men. This is the opposite of the statistics in the United States. So I wouldn’t want to live there with my present wife and daughter. Other than that, Kazakhstan is a place we can learn from. In closing, please realize the difference between a false documentary or propaganda and pure fiction. While the Borat film is funny, it is not real in many ways – although the men, as he showed in his movie too graphically for many tastes, do not consider nudity offensive. They swim without bathing suits and walk after their swim back into town often with nothing but towels around their necks. Their innocence is something to be admired — and if not, one can simply shield one’s eyes. There are a great many people in Kazakhstan who are offended by the publicity and news stories about Borat’s film though they will not see it due to the fact there are not many movie theatres there.

Chill out.
It’s only a movie.
To say ‘it is only a movie’ is like saying ‘I will hurt you but I am only hurting you.” What does that mean? Relaxedintheusa you must recognize that these people are unfairly characterized here - funny as the movie is. And this country which makes the world’s second best scrub brushes for the kitchen and toilets - I don’t know how they do this but I bought them for gifts and have kept six for us in my apartment- is now reduced to dirty undereducated prostitutes. This includes mothers, sisters, aunts, and grandmothers too!
As for the comment ‘goat” from barryson - the dish is made in over 240 ways in Kazakhstan and while I have not of course tasted them all - but that is a goal. Some of them are spiced with an herb that is mixed with human perspiration collected after field workers come in from their morning chores and blended with a wine that rivals anything I have had from Europe or Australia. Delicious. Sounds very strange but you have to try it.
Yeah, chill out. The joke is not on Kazakhstan but on the racists of America who show their true colors in the movie. Anyone who’s stupid enough to believe people in Kazakhstan drink fermented horse urine or lock their women in cages is beyond hope. Any semi intelligent person would know it’s a joke, that what he says about the country is untrue… This moive is a social commentary expsoing people’s prejudices against foreigners, women and people of other religions.
By the way, I’m not implying Americans are racists, just that he exposed that in America there are still many people who hold such racist ideas even in this day and age..
This film, although undoubtedly mocking and offensive to its subjects, will bring more wealth and happiness than any of these people have ever known. A foriegn exchange firm is thanking Borat for sparking a surge in travel to Kazakhstan. Travelex has ordered £500,000 worth of its Tenge currency to cope with the boom and a representative said: “It’s down to Borat.”
The film has put the town of Glod on the map; it is naive to think that the local population are not going to be better off as a result?
The American teenagers who made racist and sexist remarks after signing release forms to a film company; well more fool them, quite frankly, it should be a lesson to them to keep their controversial opinions to themselves in future.
There are no losers here; everyone benefits some way or another. The film is a hilarious work of art and its critics need to calm down and grow a sense of humour.
Entertaining, and provoking.
Huge amount of thought went in making it, if you try to take seriously don’t go, if you want to be entertained then go. It is fun and I think one of the best films out in years.
Some of us may even think about our own views on life as a result.
Well done
