Not that I worship world class, elite academic institutions but if you manage to slip into one of them, dealing with you deserves a bit more efforts and careful thinking. <BR/><BR/>The Kazakh government simply doesn't get it. <BR/>http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001571317<BR/><BR/>They just helped Cohen complete his joke on Kazakhstan.<BR/><BR/>This New Yorker article fully brings out the stupidity of the Kazakh foreign ministry. <BR/>http://www.newyorker.com/talk/content/?040920ta_talk_radosh<BR/><BR/>Although, I bet, they must be regarding it as innocuous and a success of their intense, international PR campaign to helping restoring their country's image.<BR/><BR/>When you have the misfortune of being chosen by Cohen as a topic of his show, the dumbest thing you could do is to respond - especially in a serious manner. Those interviewees who took Borat or Ali G seriously fell right into this trap. <BR/><BR/>The Kazakh Foreign Ministry is well advised to shut up and just enjoy the joke. Or, at least, make sure you understand the joke fully before you open your mouth and say something about it.aligrockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10156918229404198491noreply@blogger.com
