Borat Sagdiyev ("born" July 30,
1972) (Kazakh Cyrillic: Борат Сағдиев) is a fictional Kazakhstani journalist
invented and portrayed by the British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. In
Da Ali G Show, an unscripted television series starring Baron Cohen,
Borat interviews people who believe that he is a real Kazakhstani television
journalist. He is also the main character portrayed in the controversial
and successful film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit
Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. Borat also has an appearance in Cohen's
other film, Ali G Indahouse.
Sacha Baron Cohen first presented his foreign
reporter concept to Channel 4 in 1994[1], and by late 2000 Borat was,
in his own words, a "great success."
Overview
Borat evolved from previous characters that Sacha Baron Cohen had developed:
An unnamed Moldovan TV reporter (for LWT/Granada TV and the BBC's Comedy
Nation), and an Albanian TV reporter called Kristo (for the Paramount
Comedy Channel).
Borat appeared irregularly on Da Ali G
Show, for Channel 4 and HBO, with sketches featuring him often relying
on outrageous behaviour and actions, and the reactions of uninformed
individuals around him. In early appearances his name was given as Borat
Karabzhanov as well as Borat Dutbayev but from 2003 his name was changed
to Sagdiyev. In some cases, Borat's guests embrace his anti-Semitism
and misogyny by agreeing with him, while other guests express displeasure
and attempt to correct his behaviour. Borat has also appeared on BBC1's
Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, he appeared on Late Night with Conan
O'Brien on July 14, 2004 and on November 2, 2006 in his own feature
film, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious
Nation of Kazakhstan.
Cohen (in character) promoted the Borat
film with appearances on The Howard Stern Show, Saturday Night Live,
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Opie and Anthony, The Tonight Show
with Jay Leno, Live with Regis and Kelly, Late Show with David Letterman,
on which he played the berimbau as a guest musician with Beck, The Today
Show where host Matt Lauer interviewed him and CBS's The Early Show
where host Harry Smith interviewed then playfully wrestled with Borat.[2]
Just minutes before the CBS appearance, Borat appeared on Fox News where
both hosts laughed constantly throughout the interview. But Gretchen
Carlson could not stop even when Borat expressed his astonishment when
she stated that she would see the movie on Saturday: "You let women
in cinemas here? In my country we have a pen outside for the animals
and womens!" Cohen's TV appearances paid homage to the Tony Clifton
character portrayed by Andy Kaufman in the late 1970's. During Clifton's
appearances on shows such as Late Night With David Letterman many people
were baffled as to whether or not he was a real person.
Because of his outrageously offensive and
bigoted behavior, of which Borat seems innocently unaware, and the stereotypes
of a backwards second world country, as he portrays Kazakhstan, the
character has sparked controversy. The most outspoken critics of Borat
so far have been government officials in Kazakhstan who have vilified
Baron Cohen for the way their nation is characterised. The differences
between Borat's fictional homeland in Kazakhstan and the actual people
and way of life in the country are so far apart that some speculate
whether Baron Cohen made it that way to be a satire of American and
British views of the world.[3]

Sacha Baron Cohen provides Borat's backstory as follows.
Family
Borat was born on July 30, 1972 in Kuçzek, Kazakhstan. He is the son
of Asimbala Sagdiyev and Boltok the Rapist, who is also his maternal
grandfather. He is also the former husband of Oksana Sagdiyev, who was
the daughter of Mariam Tuyakbay and Boltok the Rapist. His relationship
with his mother seems to be unpleasant, and Borat has commented that
"she wishes she was raped by another man."
Borat has a sister named Natalya, regarded
as the fourth-best prostitute in Kazakhstan (and best sex-in-mouth),
with whom he often fornicates, thus making him incestful. He also has
a younger brother named Bilo, who is mentally retarded and must be kept
locked behind a metal door or in a cage. Bilo also has a pouch were
he stores all the porno he looks at inside. In an interview, Borat said,
"My brother Bilo has a small head but very strong arms. He have
204 teeth (193 in mouth 11 in nose)! You can do anything to him - he
do not remember nothing! He is a sex crazy ... all day long he in his
cage look on porno & rub rub rub!"[2]
He has been married several times, once
to his half-sister's plough. His first wife was Oksana Sagdiyev, another
half-sister. She was shot and killed by neighbour Nursultan Tuyakbay,
who mistook her for a bear, while accompanying her brother-in-law Bilo
on a walk in the forest. Borat was largely unaffected by this event
and even celebrated it, as he was able to buy a new wife who he claimed
was not boring. He maintains extramarital relations with a girlfriend,
a mistress, and at least one prostitute.
He has three children: 12-year-old Bilak,
12 year-old Biram (whose mother is Borat's sister, Natalya), and 13
year-old Hooeylewis (his favorite child); and 17 grandchildren.
Borat brought Hooeylewis, his wife and
his child to England in an attempt to sell the child to "transvestite
singer Madonna".
Pets
Borat used to have a pet pig, Igor, whom he claims to have loved, although
he and his family eventually did eat it, including the eyes. He apparently
also had a horse at some point.
Education
Borat attended the Astana University, where he studied English, journalism,
and plague research (and created 3 new plagues that were launched on
Uzbekistan).
Career & skills
Borat is a reporter. He has had many jobs ranging from ice maker to
animal sperm retriever (he claims that rumours of a connection between
these jobs are unfounded). He also claims to have previously worked
as a Gypsy catcher, boasting that he can "hit a gypsy with a rock
from 15 meters away if chained — 10 if not."
He also claims that he can carry a woman
against her will and has done so, once carrying his future wife for
1,600 meters (one mile).
Borat claims to have the tightest anus
of his village, tight enough to open a bottle of Pepsi.
On Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, Borat
claims his khram is "thick like a can of Pepsi".
Hobbies
Borat's hobbies are table tennis, disco dancing, sunbathing (while wearing
a green "slingshot" thong), shooting dogs, spitting, sitting
on comfortable chairs, taking pictures of women while they "make-a
toilet," jumping on the trampoline, and drinking traditional wine
made from "ferment horse urine."[3][4]
Prejudices
In addition to being a sexist and a homophobe, Borat is prejudiced against
Jews, Uzbeks, and Gypsies. Borat has said that he once suffered a "very
bad Gypsy attack," in which his wife Oksana Sagdiyev's plough was
stolen, and "they touch my horse in very bad way; it get depressed
for very long time." He does not appear to have a prejudice against
black people, though claimed that one of his wives did, and he calls
black people "chocolate faces". He later married a black prostitute.
Medical history
Borat has had many diseases including gonorrhoea, syphilis, and herpes
which he caught from his sister.
Religion
In the film, Borat discloses that as a Kazakh he "follows the hawk."
This may be a reference to the present flag of Kazakhstan which depicts
a golden steppe eagle flying under a golden sun on a blue background.
Ghengis Khan flew a blue flag with an eagle when he ruled Kazakhstan.
Alternatively, this may be the reference to al-Haqq - "the truth"
in Arabic. In Hebrew, Hoq (חוק) is a Divinely-ordained Law that is above
reason. However, during the course of the film he visits a Pentecostal
service, and at the end of the film, while back in his village declares
that he and, ostensibly, the rest of his village are now Christians.
Lingo
Most of the "Kazakh" dialogue in the film is actually Polish
or Hebrew, as Baron Cohen speaks Hebrew nearly fluently and uses the
language around unfamiliar Americans when keeping up his character's
foreignness. This is a list of common Borat vocabulary, with definitions:
Greetings
Dzienkuje - "thank you." Sometimes used as a greeting in the
opening of the Borat segments of Da Ali G Show (from the Polish "Dziękuję").
Also spelled as "Chenquieh" when written by Borat, e.g., his
speech on the Kazakhstani embassy.
Jagshemash - "how are you?" (from the Polish "Jak się
masz?", the Czech "Jak se máš?"). Returning to Central
Asia, the Uyghur greeting "yahşimusiz" means "are you
well?", and in Uzbek it's "yaxshimisiz." Perhaps ironically,
especially in light of Borat's views on Uzbeks, "yaxshi emas"
means "not good/well" in Uzbek.
Dzien Dobre! - sometimes used in place of above greeting, is Polish
for "Good Day!." It is also the greeting of Baron Cohen's
Borat prototype character Kristo, as well as the greeting used by Borat
as he opens the segment in his movie where he is about to meet Pamela.
Interjections
Tishe - equivalent of "be quiet" or "stop it", depending
on the tone on which it is used. Directed at animals.
Wa wa wee wa - was invented by a popular Israeli comedian on a variety
TV show "Zehu Ze," and is in popular use in Israel; basically,
an expression of surprise equivalent to "wow".[5]
Sexual terminology
Khram - male genitalia. (from the Russian slang word "хрен"
["khrien"], of the same meaning). Used to refer to the scrotum
or testicles, as well as the penis. Notice that "khrum" in
Russian means temple, church, and is seen as something sacred. In a
promotional segment for his movie on Comedy Central, Borat uses the
term Bishkek (possibly a variant of "beefcake") to describe
the same thing, referring to his "family photos" of his son
Hooeylouis.
Vazhïn (rhymes with machine) - vagina (also once referred to as Shakira).
Hand Party or Hand Relief - masturbation.
Mouth Party - oral sex.
Sexy Time - sexual intercourse.
Liquid/Romance Explosion - ejaculation.
Fictional Kazakhstani culture
"Popular music superstar" Korki BuchekKorki Buchek - fictional
"popular music superstar" known for the song "Bing Bang".
Krutzouli - fictional small or insignificant animal of ambiguous identity,
placed not too far below women in the fictional Kazakhstani caste system,
enumerated as "God, man, horse, dog, woman, rat, and then a little
krutzouli" ("Guide to Politics"). In Poland, "Krasula"
("Pretty Cow") is also a common name given to cows.
Running of the Jew - fictional annual traditional festival in which
the 300 bravest men of Kazakhstan chase large papier-mâché caricatures
of Jews on the streets, and chase them into wells, while spectators
break the eggs they lay, and throw stones and potatoes at the Jewish
caricatures. "It is for the childrens," said Borat in his
interview on "Friday Night with Jonathan Ross." It's a parody
of two Spanish festivals: The "Running of the Bulls" and the
"Gigantes y cabezudos".
Shurik, Festival/Feast of - fictional annual one-day festival when it
is appropriate to have sexual intercourse with one's sister, animals,
and minors; takes place the day following the "Running of the Jew."
It is also mandatory to have intercourse with another of the same sex.
Shurik, Sport of - fictional sport similar to 'baseballs,' in which
they take a dog and shoot it in a field, and then have a party; played
during Festival of Shurik.
Da Ali G Show
Borat is shown in each episode of Da Ali G Show, doing satirical interviews
with often-unwitting subjects in the United Kingdom and the United States.
The segment was shot in low-quality video to keep a satirical feeling
of poor quality European television (similar to Chanel 9 segments on
The Fast Show). Of Ali G, Borat says on his website, "I appear
on Alee G shows - He idiot, but it give me lot of muney - I like ..."
Borat in New YorkIn order to pass himself off as a foreigner, Baron
Cohen writes his alleged notes in Hebrew, and uses occasional Polish
words as explained (though rarely in the correct situations) when speaking
to people—not using Kazakh or Russian (the state and official languages
of Kazakhstan). He also lapsed into Hebrew while purporting to sing
the Kazakhstani national anthem at a Savannah Sand Gnats game. He kept
on repeating a famous Hebrew folk song: קום בחור עצל וצא לעבודה (kum
bachur atzel ve'tze la'avoda - "get up lazy guy and go to work
[...]" ) [...] קוקוריקו קוקוריקו התרנגול קרא (kookooriku kookooriku
ha'tarnegol kara) ("cock a doodle do the cock has crowed"),
and also called Kazakhstan a distant/desolate place (literally "hole"
(חור)(hor)).
The hair and moustache are real, and it
takes Baron Cohen six weeks to grow them. Borat has, however, made at
least one public appearance with a fake moustache.[6]

Film
Borat, promoting his film at the 2006 ComicCon in San Diego, California.Main
article: Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious
Nation of Kazakhstan
Subtitled Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation
of Kazakhstan, the film is a low-budget mockumentary comedy. Most appearances
in the film are not paid, but are rather real people whom Borat met
during his journey.[citation needed] The distributor of the film is
20th Century Fox, and the director is Larry Charles. It premiered at
the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival, and was released across
Europe and North America on November 3, 2006.
The film follows Borat in his travels across
the United States, as he commits cultural solecisms and exposes a few
American ones. Over the course of the film, Borat falls in love with
Pamela Anderson after watching a re-run of Baywatch, and vows to make
her his wife.
The film opened at # 1 in the U.S., taking
in $26.4 million on a limited release of 837 screens during its first
weekend, beating out Fahrenheit 9/11 as the biggest opening weekend
for a film released in under 1,000 theaters. Sacha Baron Cohen celebrated
the release of the film with a host of promotional 'in-character' interviews.[7]
However, on November 9, 2006 the Russian
Federal Agency for Culture and Cinematography banned the movie, citing
"it could offend viewers in relation to certain ethnic groups and
religions."
The film expanded its release on the second
weekend to 2,566 screens, where it took in an additional $29 million.[8]
Criticism and Controversy
Borat sings a song about "children" at the 2005 MTV Europe
Music Awards.See also Da Ali G Show: Controversy
Criticized as unfair smear against Kazakhstan
A number of commentators have argued that the film's portrayal of the
people of Kazakhstan is unfair and unjustified.[9] In fact, Kazakhstan
is one of the most tolerant Central Asian nations because almost half
its population is Russian, who are historically Orthodox, and its native
Kazakhs are not particularly devoutly Muslim, usually mixing Islam with
pagan rituals; the most radical Muslim elements belonging to the Uzbek
population in the south.[10]
Tony Karon has alleged that the film reinforces
prejudice against Muslims and asserts that "Kazakhstan is one of
the least anti-Semitic polities in the Muslim world today."[11]
Karon cites a U.S. State Department report[12] suggesting that Jews
are treated realitively well:
In August 2004, the Chief Rabbi of Kazakhstan,
addressing an international religious conference in Brussels, stated
that in 10 years in the country he had never faced a single case of
anti-Semitism. He praised the Government of Kazakhstan for its pro-active
protection of the Jewish community.
Nevertheless, there have been reports of anti-Semitism in Kazakhstan,
as illustrated by Alden Oreck's article in the Jewish Virtual Library,
a division of the American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise:
While anti-Semitism is not a great threat,
it is still prevalent in Kazakhstan. Jews are occasionally beaten and
harassed because of their identity. In 1997, after Kazakh KGB agents
arrested Leonid Solomin, an independent Jewish labor leader and his
associates, the Kazakh newspapers published a slew of anti-Semitic charges
warning against "Zionists" and "international Jewry."
One even called upon the people to kill Jews.[13]
On October 19, Associated Press reported that Kazakhstan's Deputy Foreign
Minister, Rakhat Aliyev, had invited Cohen to visit Kazakhstan and see
how inaccurate his portrayals were. In an interview, Aliyev asserted
that:
His trip could yield a lot of discoveries
-- that women not only travel inside buses but also drive their own
cars, that we make wine from grapes, that Jews can freely attend synagogues
and so on.
Wikinews has news related to:
International response to demolition of Hare Krishna property in KazakhstanIn
contrast to this, less traditional religious minorities, especially
Baptist and Hare Krishna, are subject to an official policy of harassment
by the government of Kazakhstan, including classification as religious
extremists and extra-legal destruction of property and eviction in winter.
The Norwegian religious rights group Forum 18 has stated that
Kazakh authorities have also worked with
local television stations to encourage intolerance against religious
minorities, such as Baptists and Hare Krishna devotees.[14]
Alleged Exploitation of Roma (Gypsies)
The scenes supposedly filmed in Borat's Kazakh village were actually
filmed in an impoverished Roma (also known as Gypsies, though many consider
this term derogatory) village of Glod in Romania. The USA Today reports
that poverty-stricken villagers were offered between $3.30 and $5.50
(US dollars) to bring animals into their houses and perform other acts
which ended up degrading them for the benefit of the amusement and profit
of others.[15] The studio contends that particpants were paid double
the rate recommended by the Romanian film office for extras. [16]
Two villagers of Glod, have hired the famous
Holocaust attorney Ed Fagan to sue the makers of the Borat film for
$30 million for human rights abuses. Fagan intends to submit lawsuits
in New York and Florida state courts, as well as in Frankfurt, Germany[17].
Fagan said that he hoped to "teach Hollywood a very expensive lesson."
The lawsuit was thrown out by U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska in
a hearing in early December 2006 on the ground that the charges were
too vague to stand up in court. Fagan plans to refile. [18]
Using people in nonfiction films
Fresh Air's critic at large (and film critic for Vogue magazine) John
Powers pointed out on November 24, 2006 that the standard technique
of documentary filmmakers "using" people when they have signed
release can cause problems. The filmmaker takes the raw footage and
edits it to portray the filmmaker's point of view and may distort the
object of the people, in this case in documentary nonfiction -- real
actual people, who are being portrayed. Powers related a story of how
he was used when another filmmaker asked him for an interview about
a movie director whom Powers admired and filmed a whole hour. But the
finished film only showed a few seconds of the interview when Powers
made a nasty comment about that director. Powers attributes the controversy
to the nonfiction format.
Possible antisemitism
Borat has elicited some controversy, mostly related to his frequent
displays of antisemitism.
Baron Cohen is himself Jewish, and is furthermore
an observant Orthodox Jew. He explained his character's racist nature
by stating that the segments are a "dramatic demonstration of how
racism feeds on dumb conformity, as much as rabid bigotry," rather
than a display of racism by Baron Cohen himself.[19] "Borat essentially
works a tool. By himself being anti-Semitic, he lets people lower their
guard and expose their own prejudice," Cohen explains to Rolling
Stone.[20] Cohen, the grandson of a Holocaust survivor, says he wishes
in particular to expose the role of indifference in that genocide: "When
I was in university, there was this major historian of the Third Reich,
Ian Kershaw, who said, 'The path to Auschwitz was paved with indifference.'
I know it's not very funny being a comedian talking about the Holocaust,
but it's an interesting idea that not everyone in Germany had to be
a raving anti-Semite. They just had to be apathetic."[20] Regarding
the enthusiastic response to his song "In My Country There is Problem"
(detailed below), he says, "Did it reveal that they were anti-Semitic?
Perhaps. But maybe it just revealed that they were indifferent to anti-Semitism."
However, the Anti-Defamation League, a
U.S.-based Jewish rights group, complained to HBO after Borat performed
a country western song titled "In My Country There is Problem"
that called on people to 'throw the Jew down the well', warning them
that 'you must be careful of his teeth' and that 'you must grab him
by his horns', to applause and participation from some members of an
audience in Tucson, Arizona, USA. The full chorus goes: "Throw
the Jew down the well/So my country can be free/You must grab him by
his horns/Then we have a big party."[4][5]
In one scene, Borat sings a song that was
commonly called Throw the Jew Down the Well, which incited hatred to
Jews as the cause of all of Kazakhstan's problems. The song was wildly
supported and cheered when it is played in a bar. Another Borat scene
involves his visiting the Serengeti Range ranch in Texas, where the
owner of the ranch reveals himself to be so anti-Semitic as to believe
that Hitler's 'Final Solution' was a necessity for Germany. He further
implies (with the egging on of Borat) that he would have no problem
running a ranch where people can hunt, in Borat's words, "deer...
then Jew."
An interview with James Broadwater, an
evangelical Christian and Republican candidate for U.S. Congress from
Mississippi, caused Broadwater to receive some hateful emails after
an episode of Da Ali G Show aired in which Broadwater stated that Jews
will go to Hell. He was told that the interview would be played in foreign
countries to teach others about the American political system. Broadwater
later posted a letter on his website denouncing Da Ali G Show, explaining
that his statement referred to a theological belief that anyone that
"accepts Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will spend eternity in
Heaven, while everyone who rejects Him will spend eternity in Hell."
Broadwater did not apologise for his comments, which were widely seen
as insensitive and inflammatory. Instead, he insisted that "the
liberal, anti-God media needs to be brought under the strict control
of the FCC, and that as soon as possible."[21]
In the film, he continues his anti-semitic
stance, such as when he finds himself in a bed and breakfast run by
an old Jewish couple, he tries to "escape", and claims that
the Jews can transform into cockroaches.
Cohen later joked, upon receiving a British
comedy award, that Borat was guest of honour at the Holocaust denial
conference in Tehran.
Extreme pro-Iraq war stance
In January 2005, after convincing the authorities that he was shooting
a documentary, Borat managed to infuriate a crowd at a rodeo in Salem,
Virginia, USA. The crowd first cheered his statements of support for
the Iraq war, including statements as "May George W. Bush drink
the blood of every single man, woman, and child of Iraq" and "May
you destroy their country so that for the next thousand years, not even
a single lizard will survive in their desert". The cheers died
out and turned to loud boos when he rendered a mangled version of the
US national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner" that was presented
by Borat as using the text of the Khazak national anthem.[22]
"If he had been out there a minute
longer, I think somebody would have shot him," said one witness.
"People were booing him, flipping him off." For his own safety,
Borat was escorted from the venue. Much of the event appears in the
movie. [23]
Conflicts with Kazakhstani government
Sacha Baron Cohen (who plays Borat) has also been accused of his character
being a derogatory portrayal of Kazakhstanis.[24]
In November 2005, following Borat's hosting
of the MTV Europe Music Awards in Lisbon, the Kazakhstani Foreign Ministry
voiced their concerns about the character. Foreign Ministry spokesman
Yerzhan Ashykbayev told a news conference: "We view Mr. Cohen's
behavior at the MTV Europe Music Awards as utterly unacceptable, being
a concoction of bad taste and ill manners which is completely incompatible
with the ethics and civilised behavior of Kazakhstan's people",
concluding "We reserve the right to any legal action to prevent
new pranks of the kind."[25]
Baron Cohen has since posted a video on
the "Official Borat Homesite" where Borat responds to Ashykbayev
in character. In the video, Borat states, in part:
"In response to Mr. Ashykbayev's comments,
I'd like to state I have no connection with Mr. Cohen and fully support
my Government's decision to sue this Jew. Since the 2003 Tuleyakiv reforms,
Kazakhstan is as civilised as any other country in the world. Women
can now travel on inside of bus, homosexuals no longer have to wear
blue hats, and age of consent has been raised to eight years old. Please,
captain of industry; I invite you to come to Kazakhstan where we have
incredible natural resources, hardworking labour, and some of the cleanest
prostitutes in whole of Central Asia. Goodbye! Dzienkuje!"[26]
Reuters quoted an unnamed Western diplomat
as saying "They (the Government of Kazakhstan) are damned if they
do [respond] and damned if they don't," he said. "It's sort
of unfortunate that he hit upon Kazakhstan."[27] Another unnamed
source inside Kazakhstan's Washington embassy called Borat a "one-man
diplomatic wrecking ball."
The next week, the government hired two
Western public relations firms to counter Borat's claims, and ran a
four-page advertisement in The New York Times. The advert carried testimonials
about the nation's democracy, education system and the power and influence
enjoyed by women. On a previous occasion, Borat responded to official
Kazakhstani complaints by issuing his own "press release",
which consisted of randomly arranged Cyrillic characters. He would make
another response when promoting his movie in front of the Kazakhstani
Embassy in Washington, roundly denouncing the advertisements as "Uzbek
propaganda". [28]
On December 13, 2005, the right to use
the domain name www.borat.kz was suspended, and the site attached to
it was closed down.[29] The domain-issuing body said that they took
this action since false names were given for the site's administrators,
and also because the site www.borat.kz was hosted outside Kazakhstan.
However, the stated underlying cause of the action was in order to censor
the content of the site: "We've done this so he can't badmouth
Kazakhstan under the .kz domain name," Nurlan Isin, President of
the Association of Kazakhstani IT Companies, told Reuters. "He
can go and do whatever he wants at other domains."
Reporters Without Borders petitioned the
ICANN ombudsman to intervene and reverse this decision.[30] Meanwhile,
the "Official Borat Homesite" was moved to the .tv domain,
where it remains. (As of November 10, 2006, the former domain name was
still suspended.)
Borat has, however, recently been defended
by Dariga Nazarbayeva, a politician and the daughter of Kazakhstani
President Nursultan Nazarbayev. She stated on a national news program
Karavan that Baron Cohen's website "damaged our image much less
than its closure, which was covered by all global news agencies,"
and "We should not be afraid of humour and we shouldn't try to
control everything, I think."[31]
White House "visit"
On September 29, 2006, Baron Cohen appeared in character as Borat at
the White House gates to give a press conference [32] and invite "Supreme
Warlord Premier George Walter Bush" to a screening of his forthcoming
film, along with "O.J. Simpson", "Melvin Gibsons"
and other "American dignitaries." Secret Service agents would
not admit him to the grounds. The apparent publicity stunt was likely
timed to coincide with an official visit by President Nazarbayev the
following day.
Complaint by Roma in Germany
On October 18, 2006, European Center for Antiziganism Research,[33]
which pleads against discrimination of gypsies (e.g. Roma and Sinti
people), filed a complaint[34] with prosecutors based on Borat's comments
about gypsies in his film. The complaint accuses him of defamation and
inciting violence against the ethnic group.[35]
At a press conference just hours before
the live broadcast of the 2005 MTV Europe Music Awards, he shocked local
and international journalists in Lisbon, Portugal by bringing a bag
of birds from Romania (the first European country to detect avian influenza)
as a gift, then proceeded to say he was sorry that they had all died.
Victims of the hoax
WAPT (Jackson, Mississippi) TV news producer Dharma Arthur claims in
Newsweek she lost her job as a result of her booking Borat on a local
afternoon news program, because she did little more than cursory research
on the guest she had booked. At the time of the appearance, she was
unaware of Baron Cohen's act. During an interview with anchor Brad McMullan,
Borat made sexual and scatological references, kissed McMullan, and
later disrupted a live weather report.[36] She said: "Because of
him, my boss lost faith in my abilities and second-guessed everything
I did .... I spiraled into depression, and ... was released from my
contract.... It took me three months to find another job, and now I'm
thousands of dollars in debt and struggling to keep my house out of
foreclosure.... How upsetting that a man who leaves so much harm in
his path is lauded as a comedic genius."
The broadcast, including the initial interview,
the disrupted weather report, and several behind-the-scenes shots made
by Borat's own film crew, is seen in the Borat movie.
Two members of the Chi Psi fraternity,
also featured in the movie, have brought a lawsuit against Baron Cohen
and 20th Century Fox. The lawsuit asserts that the film made plaintiffs
the "object of ridicule" and caused "emotional and physical
distress".[37]
However, not all hoax victims threaten
to sue. Behind-the-scenes interviews with Randall Shelley (Guide to
Baseball), Danny Passmore (Guide to Hobbies USA), Jennifer Defrancisco/Charles
Di Cagno (Guide to Acting), Ken Goldberg (Guide to being a real man)
and Peta Heskell (Guide to English Gentlemen) have all decided not to
press charges. [38]
Litigation
The state prosecutor in Hamburg, Germany, filed a complaint against
Mr. Cohen, accusing him of slander, inciting violence against the Sinti
and Roma gypsy groups, and violating Germany's anti-discrimination law.[6]
Two fraternity men featured in the movie have filed an anonymous complaint
against corporations and persons affiliated with Mr. Cohen in the Superior
Court of Los Angeles County, California, for fraud, rescission of contract,
common law false light, statutory false light, appropriation of likeness,
and negligent infliction of emotional distress. [7] One of the plaintiffs
has been revealed as Justin Seay, a graduate of the University of South
Carolina and former Vice President of the Chi Psi Fraternity. [8] On
December 11 2006, an L.A. Judge denied the pair a restraining order
to remove them from the film.
Cindy Streit, the owner of Etiquette Training Service in Birmingham,
Alabama, has claimed mistreatment and fraud after "Borat"
attended a dinner party and subjected her and the other guests to "ridicule
and humiliation". Ms. Streit has hired attorney Gloria Allred,
who is demanding an investigation by the California attorney general.
Allred says her client agreed to be filmed as part of a documentary
for Belarus television, and for those purposes only. She is asking the
attorney general to consider all appropriate relief, including a percentage
of the profits from the film. 20th Century Fox denied the claims and
stated that there was nothing in writing about only being shown in Belarus;
they also asserted that the release form clearly stated the footage
could be distributed worldwide
