Borat's Infamous Speech

update "Two mile north of Jew Town." ... "To allow a woman in a politic is like to have a pig in a party ... in fact, in government building in Kazakhstan, only women allowed in is prostitute." ... "Sorry I am so nervous ... all day I do a brown water through my anals. Not like a solid, like a water." ... "I would like to do a romance inside of you ... but only if she let me. Not with force."

Here is Borat's speech to the Oklahoma City Council's Traffic Commission, in its 17-minute entirety, from "Borat's Guide to the USA II, Episode Two: Politics". Highlights include absurd sexism and a moment of silence for a make-believe tragedy — the "Kishniyek Massacre".

So, he goes around, pretending to be from some third world country, in an effort to waste people's time and ridicule them? Sounds like quite a dickhead to me.

Yeah, he's a dickhead.

It's funny anyway.

Oh, and the obvious... He's a Jew playing a stereotyped third-world Muslim. What if it was the other way around? How quickly would that show be yanked off the air?

Anyway, time to download a few episodes off the usenet and see if it as good as you are saying.

Although Borat is ostensibly Kazakh -- admittedly a majority-Muslim country -- he makes no mention of religion, other than his snipes at Jews and when he meets James Broadwater in Lousiana.

Ali G, as revealed in the movie, stands for Alistair Griffin. He's a wanna-be Muslim.

It is offensive to Kazakhs, though.

What movie are you talking about?

There was an Ali G feature-length film released in the UK.

Other than Ali G being the main character, and Borat making a cameo, it had nothing to do with the show. Totally different format and style of humor.

The movie is also currently on Starz on demand.

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
