I've seen that ads but I just don't know enough about the movie. It will probably be a renter for me.

Have you ever watched the Ali G show? Borat is a character on it. He is from Kazakastan, thats probably thewrong spelling, and he goes around as a journalist in america asking silly questions or doing silly stuff that he claims is native to kazakastan. It's pretty funny sometimes, other times not.

I don't have HBO or Showtime. So no I haven't seen Ali G.

I want to see it but I have to say I would be pretty angry if I was from Kazakhstan.

It just gained it independence in 1991 and very few Americans remember that people from "over there", including all the " 'stans" are normal cats like you and me. I am certain that Joe Q. public will realize it is a spoof but it certainly wont help the image of the country.

I might be a little sensitive as I have a large group of friends from Eastern/Central Europe and they get some of the most ignorant questions you could possible imagine. For example, "What is Czechoslovakia like?" (Needless to say Czech Republic and Slovakia are 2 separate countries for nearly 15 years), "So are you a Communist?" Things like that. Americans arent too aware of geography.

That said, I bet it will be hilarious.
