on Sacha Baron Cohen |
One rabbi's discussion:
Kazahks find "Borat" deeply offensive for completely misrepresenting
their country as they see it.
Kazakhstan, second largest of the former Soviet republics, is not well
known to Westerners. .... Jews live there relatively undisturbed, and
President Nazarbayev personally intervened years ago on behalf of
thirteen Jews imprisoned by Iran on an espionage charge.
Did I mention that Kazakhstan's largest religious group (almost 50%)
is Muslim?
So what does this largely Muslim state do, in a week that saw Muslims
riot, murder, plunder and issue death-threats, to prove that the Pope
was wrong in suggesting that they were violent?
Kazakhs did not issue a fatwa against Baron Cohen. They did not
disrupt oil pipelines, torch movie theaters, or burn churches and
synagogues.
Instead they hired two PR firms to take their case directly to the
public with ads and articles bent on educating Americans about the
true Kazakhstan. What a novel idea - using rational discourse instead
of firebombs!

Despite "Borat" Kazakh's deputy prime minister
finishes a week-long round of diplomatic and
business meetings in Israel.
Deputy foreign minister Rakhat Aliyev even invited
Cohen to visit Kazakhstan to see for himself that
his portrayal of them was completely baseless.
"He can discover a lot of things. Women drive cars,
wine is made of grapes, and Jews are free to go to
synagogue."
I wish the ads their PR firm ran in the NYT, etc.
were required to be shown before the film.

Tom Green had a show on MTV a few years ago where he would go out and
do all sorts of crazy ***** in public to unsuspecting passers by. I
guess you could call him a forerunner to these Jackass movies and
similar TV shows. He's probably most famous for getting testicular
cancer, having a nut removed (and even dissected and played with it on
a subsequent show), then married and divorced Drew Barrymore. He was
funny for about 15 minutes.

Q: Do you not know who is Jill Metzger?
A: Then visit http://www.militarycorruption.com/metzger3.htm
Uzbeki's terrorist ogres snatched Major Jill Metzger from USAF
airbase in Kyrgyzstan, it's Kazakhstan's best friend country,
it's nice, and blamed all it on Kazakh Borat.
http://frankwarner.typepad.com/free_frank_warner/2006/10/everyone_wants_.html
Jill Metzger went out for shopping. Unfortunately for her, she met
Bigfoot and he abducted her. Or so she claimed.
USAF OSI agents organized a search&rescue operation to find her, but,
alas, with no success. She was found by herself a few days later.
When reporters tried to ask her questions about her ordeal, her
response was:
"I came to my senses in a cave. I could hear a stream nearby and
there were rays of light coming down on me from a hole in the ceiling.
Borat - that's how I called the creature afterwards - was sitting
opposite me. He was baring his teeth, as if he was infuriated. I
realized later that it was just his smile. The hairy animal came up to
me and started sniffing my clothes. Then he roared and tore my clothes
to pieces. My heart was about to explode with horror, but he continued
sniffing me until his nose stopped near my groin. He roared again and
threw himself over me."
When Jill woke up the next morning, she realized that she had become
the prisoner and the wife of the hairy creature.
PS:
It's BS Uzbek propaganda!!! Making Kazakhs look plain stupid!!! Oh,
pain! pain!!!
It's outrageous that Uzbeki terrorists are blaming abduction on your
father, Bilak, stick up for yor dad!!!
Please, read what Uzbek non-human ogres did to Jill Metzger in Bishkek,
Kyrgyz capital!!!
http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=1337002006
A FEMALE US Air Force officer who went missing last week near the
capital of Kyrgyzstan has turned up alive, claiming she had been
kidnapped.
USAF major Jill Metzger story. It's nice!
Jill Metzger went out for shopping. Unfortunately for her, she met
Bigfoot and he abducted her. Or so she claimed.

sniffing my clothes. Then he roared and tore my clothes to pieces. My
heart was about to explode with horror, but he continued sniffing me
until his nose stopped near my groin. He roared again and threw himself
over me."
When Jill woke up the next morning, she realized that she had become
the prisoner and the wife of the hairy creature. When Borat was going
out, he would cover the entrance to the cave with a big stone, leaving
no way for Jill to escape. Borat would always bring something to eat -
berries, nuts, mushrooms, eggs or raw meat. The terrible sex with the
animal became a daily torture for Jill. However, the 'beauty and the
beast' started developing a relationship. Borat showed interest in the
girl's CD player. Jill had only one CD with her - Michael Jackson's
best hits.
One day, before leaving, Borat covered the entrance to the cave with
the stone as usual, but did not notice a small gap that the stone left.
It took a great effort for Jill to sneak outside, but when she finally
succeeded to get out of the cave, she started running without making a
stop. When she saw people in the Kant town, she finally realized that
she was free.
"Her parents took Jill to our hospital, - Dr. Dolittle said. - The girl
was mental; all I could hear from her was that she had been married to
a Bigfoot for a year. She never managed to get used to home conditions.
She was afraid of going out even during the day, she was terribly
afraid of the dark. In addition, Jill could not eat normal food," the
doctor said. One day Jill started recovering very fast both mentally
and physically. She started eating, talking and even laughing. When
doctors told her that she was getting better, Jill laughed and said
that she had never been sick. She added that "he" knew where she was
and that "he" would come to rescue her. Doctors considered such
behavior the new stage of Jill's illness and decided to isolate her in
a special room. However, the USAF major disappeared from her ward at
night in the middle of November. Someone very strong pulled steel bars
out of the brick wall and signed the wall with autograph "Here was
Borat."
Borat for president!!!

Cohen is an idiot, if a gifted clever idiot. Maybe there's
a better word than "idiot"

One rabbi's discussion:
Kazahks find "Borat" deeply offensive for completely misrepresenting
their country as they see it.
Kazakhstan, second largest of the former Soviet republics, is not well
known to Westerners. .... Jews live there relatively undisturbed, and
President Nazarbayev personally intervened years ago on behalf of
thirteen Jews imprisoned by Iran on an espionage charge.
Did I mention that Kazakhstan's largest religious group (almost 50%)
is Muslim?
So what does this largely Muslim state do, in a week that saw Muslims
riot, murder, plunder and issue death-threats, to prove that the Pope
was wrong in suggesting that they were violent?
Kazakhs did not issue a fatwa against Baron Cohen. They did not
disrupt oil pipelines, torch movie theaters, or burn churches and
synagogues.
Instead they hired two PR firms to take their case directly to the
public with ads and articles bent on educating Americans about the
true Kazakhstan. What a novel idea - using rational discourse instead
of firebombs!

effected group is...
