Borat's Guide to the USA
Matt sent me this link for the Unofficial Borat Homepage. Borat, in case you're unaware, is a news correspondent from Kazakhstan who pulls no punches in his hardhitting interviews.
This clip of Borat's interview of a Republican Congressman James Broadwater is definitely worth watching.
You may have read about this report recently in American newspapers:
At the rodeo in Roanoke, Southwest Virginia, USA, Borat was given permission to sing the national anthem. He started well introducing himself and saying that he supported the war against terrorism. He then was reported as saying,
"I hope you kill every man, woman and child in Iraq, down to the lizards"
and then,
"May George W. Bush drink the blood of every man, woman and child in Iraq"
Borat then got the words of the national anthem wrong finishing with...
"your home in a grave".
The organisers of the event realised that the crowd were angry and they rushed him away fearing violence.
"Had we not gotten them out of there, there would have been a riot," rodeo producer Bobby Rowe told the Roanoke Times. "I told him you done the wrong thing at the wrong place!".
This is the kind of news we need in America. Give me BoratMedia, or give me death.
