Borat Does Publicity

Funny. But not as funny as it ought to be, given the current reality.

Last night, it was easy to see why. Baron Cohen hopped off his mule cart and declared: "Good evening gentlemen and prostitutes."

Wearing a bright yellow jacket and jeans, and oversized sunglasses, he grabbed a microphone and invited the crowds to join him after the screening at his hotel in King's Cross, where "We will all drink, wrestle with no clothes on and shoot dogs from the window."

..

Lampooning Kazakhstan, Borat spoke warmly of the progress his home nation had made towards the modern world.

Such strides, he declared, as "women now permitted to travel on inside of bus" and "homosexuals no longer have to wear blue hats."

...

He also said he was hoping to meet Madonna after reading about her adoption of 13 month old Malawian boy David Banda.

"I have brought here with me my 11-year-old son, his wife and their new-born baby, who I am hoping to sell to singing transvestite Madonna," he said.

...

Borat has dismayed the Government of Kazakhstan with his claims that the country's national pastimes are "disco dancing, archery, rape and table tennis."

Are we sure he's from Kazakhstan?

Perhaps he means "Pakistan."
