BoratKazakhstan's largest chain of cinemas has banned the forthcoming Sacha Baron Cohen movie, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation Kazakhstan. In the movie, Borat Sagdiyev, a creation of the British comedian, portrays Kazakhs as a nation of misogynists, racists and anti-Semites, whose favourite drink is fermented horse urine.

Speaking broken English peppered with something resembling Polish, he also expresses support for the U.S.-led "war of terror" and provokes homophobic remarks from unsuspecting Americans.

Ruslan Sultanov, distribution manager for Otau Cinema, says, "We consider this movie offensive, a complete lie and nonsense. It's a shame that some Americans will probably believe what they see there."
