Throw the phony Kazakh down the well

Borat better not bring his act to Kazhakstan.

The Kazakhstan Foreign Ministry is considering legal action to block Ali G's portrayal of goofy, lovable, wildly anti-semetic Borat Sagdiyev, the Kazakh TV anchor.

Here's the best line: "We do not rule out that Mr. Cohen (Ali G) is serving someone's political order designed to present Kazakhstan and its people in a derogatory way."

While we're talking about Borat, check out this hilarious New Yorker article from last year, The Borat Doctrine. A quick taste:

Roman Vassilenko, the press secretary for the Embassy of Kazakhstan, wants to clear up a few misconceptions about his country. Women are not kept in cages. The national sport is not shooting a dog and then having a party. You cannot earn a living being a Gypsy catcher. Wine is not made from fermented horse urine. It is not customary for a man to grab another man’s khrum. “Khrum” is not the word for testicles.
