Borat

According to the Las Vegas Blog “Borat” is asking 3 million for an exclusive New Years Eve show here in Vegas.
This guy is a British comic who has taken self promotion to a new high.

Sacha Baron Cohen, the British comedian and creator of Borat, has secured a reported £22 million deal for a follow-up film featuring his alter ego Bruno, Cohen’s gay Austrian fashion fanatic.
Bruno is his third alter ego, along with Borat and Ali G, who is best known in this country for his appearance in the madonna video.

The Associated Press reported that, a top Kazakh official has an invitation for the British comedian whose depiction of a homophobic, misogynistic, English-mangling Kazakh journalist has outraged the Central Asian nation.
Come visit, Deputy Foreign Minister Rakhat Aliyev said in an interview that he understands why Kazakhs are unhappy about Sacha Baron Cohen’s character, Borat Sagdiyev.
“But we must have a sense of humor and respect other people’s freedom of creativity,” Aliyev was quoted as saying by Kazakhstan Today.

In the AsiaOne News it was reported that a man in New York City punched “Borat” in the face.
At least he didn’t hit him anywhere that was going to be damaged.

Here’s a shot of “Borat” from one of his “Ali G” segments

I’m told that he’s very popular in the UK, but, for a time, so were jellied eels.
