Borat at the MTV Music awards
Borat at the MTV Music awards
Watched this over the weekend - he was very funny...

Kazakhstan's Foreign Ministry threatened legal action on Monday against comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, who wins laughs by portraying the central Asian state as a country populated by drunks who enjoy cow-punching as a sport.
Baron Cohen, who portrays a spoof Kazakh television presenter Borat in his "Da Ali G Show", has won fame ridiculing Kazakhstan, the world's ninth largest country yet still little known to many in the West.
Baron Cohen appears to have drawn official Kazakh ire after he hosted the annual MTV Europe Music Awards show in Lisbon earlier this month as Borat, who arrived in an Air Kazakh propeller plane controlled by a one-eyed pilot clutching a vodka bottle.
"We do not rule out that Mr. Cohen is serving someone's political order designed to present Kazakhstan and its people in a derogatory way," Kazakh Foreign Ministry spokesman Yerzhan Ashykbayev told a news briefing.
"We reserve the right to any legal action to prevent new pranks of the kind." He declined to elaborate.
Cohen's earlier jokes about the Central Asian state include claims that the people would shoot a dog and then have a party, and that local wine was made from fermented horse urine.
"We view Mr. Cohen's behaviour at the MTV Europe Music Awards as utterly unacceptable, being a concoction of bad taste and ill manners which is completely incompatible with ethics and civilised behaviour," Ashykbayev said.

Borat - You are English Policeman?
Policeman - Yes
Borat - Hello
(Borat proceeds to kiss the policeman on both cheeks)
Borat - Do you believe in the hunt?
Policeman - I have to remain impartial with my views.
Borat - Because you are English Policeman! The greatest police in the force!
Policeman - And they say, "Everything is cricket", in England. Don't they?
Borat - Everything is cricket? This is cricket?
Policeman - No no no. It's just a saying, just a saying.
Borat - They play?
Policeman - Cricket?
Borat - Yes, cricket.
Policeman - Cricket is a gentleman's sport and everyone has the right to be gentlemen in England, as such.
Borat - And they play cricket today?
Policeman - No no no. I am confusing you now. Forget the cricket side of things. It's just a saying anyway.
Borat - And people they protest against the cricket?
Policeman - Forget the cricket! It's just a saying. I just said, "Cricket". It has nothing to do with the hunting.
Borat - So why did you say it?
Policeman - Yes
Borat - Hello
