Borat Causes Diplomatic Chaos

No, this isn't an Onion article...

Daily Mail (UK): Bush to hold talks on Ali G creator after diplomatic row

...And now a movie of Borat's adventures in the US has caused a diplomatic incident...

...Kazakhstan president Nursultan Nazarbayev is to fly to the US to meet President Bush in the coming weeks and on the agenda will be his country's image.

President Nazarbayev has confirmed his government will buy "educational" TV spots and print advertisements about the "real Kazakhstan" in a bid to save the country's reputation before the film is released in the US in November....

Nice. I like.

I also read that the U.S. is planning to test fancy new laser weapons or whatever on American citizens!!!

Life is definitely outpacing whatever satire can make of it.
