respec’

It’s a tribute to how much farther the world has to go in the quest for accuracy in cultural education. Canadians roll their eyes when entirely too many Americans really do think we live in igloos. Yes, they really do. But Kazakhstan is concerned that Sasha Baren Cohen’s movie Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan will have us all thinking “…of the ex-Soviet republic as misogynist anti-Semites fond of shooting dogs and drinking horse urine.”

For those of us long familiar with the characters introduced on Da Ali G Show all the fuss seems a little melodramatic. Then again, Canadians have been up here enjoying indoor plumbing for years now.

Meanwhile, the Kazakh central bank mispelled the word ‘bank’ on their money.

Whaddya do?
