so i fell asleep in front of the tv after the 11 o'clock news and was drifting in and out of consciousness periodically. nightline was on and i woke up to find a segment featuring none other than our own Borat! he was in washington, i believe, and was doing some political schtick re kazakhstan (or was i just too sleepy to get this right?). congrats Borat, and do tell us more about this.

Quote:

Borat Sagdiyev is Kazakhstan's sixth most famous man. A leading journalist from the State run TV network, Borat has been sent to the United States to report on all aspects of American life. From baseball to Broadway, Borat asks the questions no westerner would dream of in his tireless quest for knowledge, telling dating agencies he will 'crush' women who are unfaithful, touching the penises of Vietnam veterans in Atlanta, urinating on trees with new age gurus in Sedona. Borat on his first ever trip abroad presents a picture of America that only Charles Manson would recognize.

Are you saying the person you saw on TV was the Head-Fi'er who uses Borat as his handle?

 

[MASantos]

Borat is not a real person, he is a character of the English comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, aka Ali G, aka Borat.

I think that head-fi member borat was inspired by Sachas's character when he joined head-fi!

Haha someone is WAY out of the loop

I am really looking forward to his new flick. It sounds like it'll be even better that Clerks 2.

 

[NotoriousBIG_PJ]

Ahahha good times.

Biggie.

I saw the borat movie at the international film festival and it was an absolute riot. By the end of it, my cheeks hurt from smiling so much...

oh, i guess that's where his handle came from. i often wonder where folks get their forum names from.

I can't wait to see this movie. I saw a little blurb on CNN about all the political drama in Kazakhstan.

 

[benton]

Da Ali G Show rocks. Borat the movie I don't think is going to be too good. It is all scripted and not the candid type things Sasha does in Da Ali G Show.

 

[nabwong]

no offence to the OP but this is one of the funniest threads ever.

 

[Borat]

Hahahah. What the hell?

Everyone don't get excited. I'm not actually Sascha Baron Cohen. Anyone who has met me at a meet is very disappointed when they find this out.

I saw a screening of Borat the movie. Haven't laughed that hard in awhile. He pushes it even further than the TV show.

My eyes feel violated afterwards.
