Jagshemash

If you find humor in the photos to the right (Borat at the Cannes Film Festival and Borat after a ping pong match), then you will want to see Borat: Cultural Learnings from America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan when it comes out in November 2006. Check out this hilarious page and pictures of the movie on Yahoo. The funny thing is that he was threatened to be sued by the country of Kazakhstan for a few skits involving the country. What will they do after they see this movie?
Here's the movie description from Apple's site (with trailer): "Sacha Baron Cohen - star of HBO’s hit comedy “Da Ali G Show,” takes his
outrageous Kazakshtani reporter character Borat to the big screen. In this hilariously offensive movie, Borat travels from his primitive home in Kazakhstan to the U.S. to make a documentary. On his cross-country road-trip, Borat meets real people in real situations."Check out official (hilarious) and unnofficial Borat homepage (also hilarious).
By the way, "jagshemash" is a Kazakhstani greeting made famous by Sacha Baron Cohen, aka Ali G, in character as Borat. Closest interprtation is "hello". Example: "Jagshemash! I like you!" *must be said with Kazakhstani accent.
