<title>For Kazakhs, Borat Is No Laughing Matter. (Trees And Things)</title>

<description>Every so often a movie will open to public outcry. &#160;However, it's not that often that a movie becomes an item on the agenda of a meeting between the US president and a visiting head of state. &#160;But, that's the case as Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev meets in the upcoming weeks with President George Bush. &#160;&lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=404852&amp;in_page_id=1770">One of the things they'll be discussing&lt;/a> is the torturously title</description>

<description>The problem is 1) How many people will see this? &#160;(Dave Chapelle quit his comedy central gig because he knew that people tended to see his comedy acts as "real".) &#160;2) Is the real problem then the people who appropriate this sort of thing, since t</description>

<description>The government of Kazakhstan has denied that Borat will be a topic of discussion at the talks: &lt;a href="http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2006/09/kazakhstan_deni.html">Kazakhstan Denies Reports Borat Part of Summit Talks&lt;/a></description>

<description>The movie premieres in the US in November (about the time of the Kazakh president's visit). &#160;Other than being an extension of the Kazakh government's media push to promote "the real Kazakhstan" as opposed to Borat's Kazakhstan, I'm not sure why this w</description>

<description>It's absurd. &#160;Nonetheless, the US has been a particular buddy of the Kazakhs recently. &#160;I suspect the fourth para of this &lt;a href="http://www.voanews.com/uspolicy/2006-09-01-voa4.cfm">State Department editorial&lt;/a> has something to do with it:&lt;p></description>

<description>So a &lt;b>UK&lt;/b> comedian is premiering a movie in &lt;b>Canada&lt;/b> and the Khazaks want to discuss their complaints about it with the US president?&lt;p>&#10;If the movie's incest and horse drawn cars reference didn't make me think well of Khazakistan, this story cer</description>

<description>I love Ali G. &#160;Indeed the only one of Cohen's creations that leaves me cold is Bruno. &#160;I don't think Ali G is lampooning blacks as much as he's lampooning "&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav">Chavs&lt;/a>" those idiosyncratic lower class Bri</description>

<description>Funny, there's a great deal of discussion about Cohen's other character, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_G">Ali G&lt;/a>. Is he mocking blacks? Mocking whites who appropriate black culture? Or is he mocking people who take his pretense of stupidity </description>
