Randolph Sacha Baron Cohen, the creator of Ali G (hence the subject line), is also the creator of Borat. Recently, Kazakhstan slammed Cohen for his depiction of Kazakh life with the Borat character in general, and specifically in the film "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan".
The first deputy foreign minister, Rakhat Aliyev, has invited Cohen to the country to see it for himself as it really is, and says, "I understand that the feelings of many people are hurt by Cohen's show, but we must have a sense of humor and respect the creative freedom of others."
That's respectable. Well done, Rakhat. See related link.
