Many many jew references. its just one big satire and its so funny. its harmless funny too. Its really sad if it is banned from anywhere. If you cant make humor, what really is wrong with society? there are some crazy scenes... such as when the two men are naked and they are wrestling and fighting and they chase eachother around. its not disgusting as much as shocking. like in disgusted awe. haha. but dont worry, you get over it. its funny theres more crude sexual humor in 40 Year old Virgin than in Borat.

Anyway they will get their hands on the movie, thanks to pirate DVDs. Downloading the movie now as I type... It's not, not anymore anyway, at least in Moscow, my friend told me: Luzhkov personally unbanned I think.

The only time Russia was mentioned was by idiots in the movie who didn't know the difference between Russia and Kazakhstan. And I'm sure many people who don't know that Kazakh is a separate language (many of the same people mentioned above) thought that they were speaking Russian. But it's really poking fun at Kazakhstan, and America, of course. Just about everyone gets poked fun at though, so it's really all in good fun.

I saw parts of Ali G Indahouse and I find it a bit funny. Borat was hilarious it made those folks like the frat boys and politicians in the US look stupid.
