Kazakhstan, the home country of fictional journalist Borat Sagdiyev who is played by Sacha Baron Cohen, has adopted the character's 'Very nice!' catchphrase for a new tourism campaign.

This image released by Amazon Studios shows Sacha Baron Cohen in a scene from"Borat Subsequent Moviefilm." TORONTO -- After initially banning the first "Borat" movie, Kazakhstan now appears to have accepted the attention the second film is bringing to the country.

Despite the unflattering depiction, Kairat Sadvakassov, the deputy chairman of Kazakh Tourism, said in athat adopting Borat’s catchphrase "offers the perfect description of Kazakhstan’s vast tourism potential in a short, memorable way." Sadvakassov said the government initially planned to let the popularity of the second “Borat” film, which premiered on Amazon Prime on Friday, "die its natural death and not respond."

"We would like everyone to come experience Kazakhstan for themselves by visiting our country in 2021 and beyond, so that they can see that Borat’s homeland is nicer than they may have heard," Sadvakassov said in the statement.

I saw the second movie. It was more gross than funny. I thought the first one was funny but there’s nothing original or new in this one, he just made it even more embarrassing to watch.

he already said that what he did in the past is wrong, how is he gonna pull it off in a PC world, where everyone pretty much knows who he is? He shot himself in the foot; he cant be funny anymore; he already condemned what made him funny.

How is everything racist according to CTV news but this isn't?

If you can’t beat ‘em...

That place is right up there on my top ten places to visit.

he's a Hollywood hypocrite (probably likes the little kid pizza deliveries.)

I doubt that very much. They are petitioning with regard to how they are depicted on his first and second movie. Stop your Liberal slant CTV.

Borat is making fun of them. Its very racist.

😁😂🤣😁😂🤣😁😂🤣
