Fair play to the Kazakh establishment for recognizing the humour behind Borat, but one thinks they should have taken this line in the first place...

I can see how they could have done so...and made a profit doing it.

I find the kind of humor that makes fun of Eastern European/central Asian manners and customs extremely boorish. The Borat concept isn't even original, one can see the influence of Steve Martin and Dan
Akroyd's SNL skits of the "two wild and crazy guys" from the 70's!

A class act of Kazakh officials to reach out to bury the hatchet!

In the forthcoming movie, "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan", Borat depicts Kazakhs as a nation of misogynists, racists and anti-semites whose favourite drink is fermented horse urine.

That's nothing. I seem to remember that H. Allen Smith, upon tasting a particularly flat American brewski, was heard to propose, "Put it back in the horse."

Hello Borat - Welecome to Kazakstan
Let me show you the old gulag the soviets built here - free room and board for a year or ten.
Your lawyer will see you upon your release in 2035.
Just kidding - or are we?

There's a Corona brewery in Kazakhstan? Who knew?

he hosted an international music show as Borat, who arrived in an Air Kazakh propeller plane controlled by a one-eyed pilot clutching a vodka bottle.

ROTFLMAO!!! Now that's funny.
