Borat

I try to keep this blog intellectual and focused but this was too funny and since no one was here to share this with here you go. For all you Ali G fans.

 

The authorities in Kazakhstan, angered by a British comedian's satirical portrayal of a boorish, sexist and racist Kazakh television reporter, have pulled the plug on his alter ego's Web site.

Sacha Baron Cohen plays Borat in his "Da Ali G Show" and last month he used the character's Web site www.borat.kz to respond sarcastically to legal threats from the Central Asian state's Foreign Ministry.

Afterwards, Kazakhstan 's Foreign Ministry said it could not rule out that he was under "political orders" to denigrate 's name and threatened to sue him.

Cohen, who is Jewish, responded to the legal threats on the www.borat.kz site in character, saying: "I have no connection to Mr. Cohen and fully support my government's position to sue this Jew."

Also there is a little known interview Ali G gave Noam Chomsky in the “unseen shit” part of one of his shows DVD’s that is worth a check. Season 2

2 - The first 20 times he was really funny, but after a while he got a little played.
But there is no doubt the best and often times the only way to prove a point is by imitation and mockery.

Now let''s have him do an imitation of the leader of Iran in character. Now that would be dangerous and hiarious.
Then he could get started on the "Mufti" in Jerusalem and PLO and Syrian TV.
