In
a bizarre turn of events, a new report from US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice lists Sacha Baron Cohen's character Borat as a victim of human rights violations by the nation of Kazakhstan:
The report cited Borat's loss of his Kazakh webpage www.borat.kz in late 2005 alongside court cases and limits on free speech faced by the few domestic media critical of Kazakhstan's long-serving President Nursultan Nazarbayev.
"The government deemed as offensive the content of a satirical site controlled by British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen and revoked the .kz domain," the report said.
In a related story, Rice's office is pressuring the Russian government to come clean about abuses against cartoon moose and squirrels.

Sacha Baron is a genius.
all those who were offended are just f*cking stupid.
Native people of Kazakhstan are called “kazakhs”, and “kazak” = “cossack”, and I am one of them, so be mindful.

Jagshemash!
I am Jonny the Monkey. #1 celebrity in all Kazakhstan (Borat still #4, even after great success of movie)…
You say:
"Rice's office is pressuring the Russian government to come clean about abuses against cartoon moose and squirrels."
Not sure about Kazak moose and squirrel (hard to tell difference between moose and Kazak women after breeding years are over anyways) but *do* know Kazakhstan guilties for MONKEY Rights Abuse!
When Jonny the Monkey stuck in cage at Astana zoo, many peoples throw potato at Jonny and Batyr, the gypsy who taught Jonny sign language and now is assistant. Batyr there in cage because he arrested for bake bagel (before it become death sentence crime like now!).
Even Kazak Olympic team practice train throwing potatos at Jonny, and Batyr's big head make great target – worth 25 points!
So Condalisa Ricearoni obvious not concerned about Monkey Rights abuse OR Gypsy Rights abuse…
Chenquieh!
*NOTE: this comment was 'hand signed' by Jonny the Monkey to his gypsy assistant Batyr, who then translated those words into English and transcribed them here.
