Borat Arrives at his Premiere in Style

The star of Borat: Cultural Learnings Of America Or Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan, to use the films full title, arrived at this star studded event with 30 members of his peasant family and several barrels of horse urine, all packed together in a mule drawn cart.

The sixth most famous man in Kazakhstan said how proud he was to be in the UK and mentioned another reason for his journey here. I have brought with me my 11 year old son and his wife, he said, and their new born daughter, who I am hoping to sell to the singing transvestite Madonna.

Though Sacha Baron Cohens creation has proven to be an enormous success on both sides of the Atlantic, the comedian has been less popular back in Kazakhstan.

The central Asian country launched a new PR offensive this time, however, and sent real-life Kazakh star Jantik Baimukhamedov on a charm offensive. Unfortunately, Jantik turned up late and was asked to leave the area as he hadnt got a ticket.

Real PR coup, that one!
