Kazakhstan Doesn't Find Borat Funny

Sacha Baron Cohen may like to push the envelope on "Da Ali G Show," and now the Kazakhstan Foreign Ministry wants to push back. IOL says they are threatening to sue the comedian over his portrayal as Borat.

They don't appreciate how the faux reporter makes his "native" country look "full of drunks who enjoy cow-punching as a sport." Um -- that's kind of funny. They are especially angry that he appeared as the character when he hosted the MTV Europe Music Awards earlier this month.

They make think it's bad taste, but so are frivolous lawsuits. Cohen is currently working on a "Borat" movie. -- Rachel Cericola
