I'm referring to this scene:
Borat: [indicates women beside him] In my country, they would go crazy for these two.
[points to minister's wife]
Borat: This one... not so much...
I've never been accused of having a temper, but that scene made me angry.
To say that to someone as a joke...unforgivable.
I think Kazakh people get extremely insulted in this movie. The movie was funny, but, it was kinda too disgusting in some parts. Brüno is also like that, but of course much worse. (I gave the movie 6 out of 10). Here are the lyrics from the fictional Kazakh national anthem from the movie:
[...}
Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan you very nice place.
From Plains of Tarashek to Norther fence of Jewtown.
Come grasp the might phenis of our leader.
From junction with the testes to tip of its face!
His might "phenis"? I think Cohen carries things too far sometimes.
BTW, Borat is acutally a bit of a 'stolen idea'. There's a famous Turk called 'Internet Mahir', who used to be -maybe still is- a famous internet personality in the US in 1999. He had a website called ikissyou.org in which he wrote some stuff similar to Borat's general attitude in broken English. I think Cohen made Borat out of Mahir, and made Borat a Kazakh, in order to not make it too obvious, but still have an interesting homeland. (BTW Kazakh and Turks are kinda related). You can read about Mahir Çağrı here:

Also, I think Mahir sued Cohen for "stealing his personality", or at least tried to...
never saw this film but i did read a few of the posts here and i must say...
how can you NOT comprehend that calling someone ugly in front of the entire world while referring to a real person and not a character is cruel ?
its not like its a celebrity that knows that *beep* will come flying to them from any other direction, its a real person who just got caught up in the camera and SBC thought to himself "hey lets use that person to get a few laughs".
just the fact that this conversation exists is kinda cruel.
hahaha im laughing just thinking about that scene, dude thats where the films humor is genius. Borat is more of an insulting humor.
shareIt was insulting but it was also hilarious.

share"when i buy my wife at the start she was good cook and her vagine work well and she strong on plow. But after 3 years when she was 15 she become weak, her voice become deep: BORAT BORAT!! She receive hair on chest and her vagine hang like sleeve of wizard."
This is like one of the funniest quotes in the movie!!!
