The movie “Borat” didn’t exactly do well in Kazakhstan. After being banned, it took a full six years to realise the touristic potential of the film, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. But, the “glorious nation” has now issued an official thank you to Sacha Baron Cohen.
At a recent sporting event in Kuwait, a Kazakh girl won the gold medal. But check out the awkwardness when the Borat parody of the Kazakh national anthem is played during the ceremony! Some weeks earlier, Ricky Martin’s “Livin’ la Vida Loca” was also played instead of the country’s anthem at another sporting event. Both incredible moments can be seen after the jump.
Sacha Baron Cohen, the man that brought us Borat, Ali G, and Brüno, has just released the trailer for his latest offering – “The Dictator.”
And today was going so well. The mankini, popularized by Sacha Baron Cohen in Borat. Because that’s what we want 2011 to be known for; the year that we introduced torso-spanning banana hammocks into our day-to-day vocabulary. Other words that are now acceptable to use include ‘sexting,’ ‘retweet,’ and ‘cyberbullying.’ See also, ‘apocalypse.’
We all want to be living legends. Like our boss, Seth. But this guy is very close to actually being one as well. He completed this years Argus Cycle Tour wearing only a Borat Mankini, a pair of sneakers, and his safety helmet. All on a BMX.
