Ali G May be Sued by Kazakhstan
Monday, April 10th, 2006
Turns out Kazakhstan is an actual country and it`s threatening to sue Sacha Baron Cohen. Cohen, who plays Borat the Kazakh journalist among other characters on Da Ali G Show, has pissed off Kazakhstan with his characters antics.
“We do not rule out that Mr. Cohen is serving someone’s political order designed to present Kazakhstan and its people in a derogatory way,” Kazakh Foreign Ministry spokesman Yerzhan Ashykbayev told a news briefing. “We reserve the right to any legal action to prevent new pranks of the kind.”

Update: Looks like the Kazakh`s have shut down Borat’s site.
“We’ve done this so he can’t badmouth Kazakhstan under the .kz domain name,” Nurlan Isin, President of the Association of Kazakh IT Companies, told Reuters. “He can go and do whatever he wants at other domains.”
Update: … and he has. Borat’s new site is here.
