Borat and american people are junks.... they don't even think about other countries' history at all. and American fats think as if other nations are less worth than usa. What do you actually knows about the mobie nomads? do you know even what it means? I think the writer of the piece of junk above is jerk. you don't even look up what it really is about? All you can do is mumbling about what hollywood made? Hello.

The nomad film production has been going on long before Borat made any moves to irritate Nazarbaev's government. In fact it was the opposite- Borat's release coincided with the release of Nomads as a way of being more ironic, and more importantly so that it would earn more money. Having lived in Kazakhstan for considerable time, I believe that the mistake that Kazakhstan made was in reacting at all to the MTV music awards controversy. I enjoy the comedy of borat and appreciate the way it exposes our predjudices and ignorance in the west, but this film has now no doubt had a negative effect on Kazakhstan. Just the other day I was giving an interview about Kazakhstan but the radio personality took the mickey out of my description of Kazakh culture and history, and at the end of my interview played an audio recording from Borat. In context, Borat is hilarious, but when it is used to overshadow any opportunity to ecducate westerners about the real kazakhstan, then the film has defeated itself,. This is the real disgrace, and this is not to blame on Borat, but the media itself. Tim Cope You are very wrong in making the assumption that this nomad film was made to combat the Borat movie.

Production of Nomad started in 2003, long before Borat caused much alarm in Astana. Granted, you’re repeating what The Times reported, but Timothy Halpin is a lazy hack for not bothering to check out the movie’s IMDB page to see that his assertion is utter bunk.

I totally agree that the best way to combat this would be to make a joke out of it but I guess that would be hoping for too much... I'm curious as to who's going to direct this... That’s HILARIOUS!
