BORAT, the fictional TV reporter from Kazakhstan, may have gotten under the skin of Kazakh officials but today he couldn't get past the gates of the White House.
Secret Service agents turned away British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, in character as the boorish, anti-Semitic journalist, when he tried to invite "Premier George Walter Bush" to a screening of his upcoming movie, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.
Also invited to the screening: O.J. Simpson, "Mel Gibsons" and other "American dignitaries."
Cohen's stunt was timed to coincide with an official visit by Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, who is scheduled to meet President Bush on Friday.
Nazarbayev and other Kazakh officials have sought to raise the profile of the oil-rich former Soviet republic and assure the West that, contrary to Borat's claims, theirs is not a nation of drunken anti-Semites who treat their women worse than their donkeys.
Niedawno pisałem o nowym filmie Borata, którego stworzył Sacha Baron Cohen. Niestety, nie udało mu się zaprosić prezydenta USA na pokaz swojego filmu. Szkoda. Ale promocja filmu ruszyła pełną parą. Szczególnie, żę w tym samym czasie w USA z wizytą był prezydent Kazachstanu Nursultan Nazarbayev. Już nie mogę się doczekać premiery u nas :)
I jeszcze jedno wystąpienie Borata z promocji filmu: “If there is one more item of Uzbek propaganda claiming that we do not drink fermented horse urine, give death penalty for baking bagels, or export over 300 tonnes of human pubis per year, then we will be left with no alternative but to commence bombardment of their cities with our catapults.
”. I materiał filmowy z msn. Oraz Borat na MySpace.
Jagshemash!
