Borat - crise diplomática com o Kazaquistão

O actor britânico Sacha Baron Cohen, mais conhecido pelo personagem Ali G, ou mais recentemente pela curiosa personagem oriunda do Kazaquistão, chamada Borat, com a qual apresentou os MTV Europe Music Awards, em Lisboa, acabou de lançar um novo filme intitulado: "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan". (ver http://imdb.com/title/tt0443453/)

O governo do Kazaquistão é que não gostou tendo emitido o seguinte comunicado:

"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. We reserve the right to any legal action to prevent new pranks of the kind. 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 civilized behaviour."-Yerzhan Ashykbayev, Kazakh Foreign Ministry Spokesman

Mas, Borat não perde o sentido de humor, e respondeu ao governo do Kazaquistão num video lançado no seu site:

Segue uma transcrição do video:
"In response to Mr. Ashykbayev's comments, I'd like to state I have no connection with Mr. Cohen and fully support my Government's decision to sue this Jew.
"Since the 2003 Tuleyakiv reforms, Kazakhstan is as civilized as any other country in the world.
"Women can now travel on inside of bus, homosexuals no longer have to wear blue hats, and age of consent has been raised to eight years old. Please captain of industry I invite you to come to Kazakhstan, where we have incredilble natural resources, hard working labour, and some of the cleanest prostitutes in whole of cental asia."

Genial, ficamos à espera do filme.
