When comedian Sacha Baron Cohen released his satirical mockumentary about the fictional Kazakh reporter Borat Sagdiyev in 2006, it was banned in Kazakhstan. Last week, a sequel came out -- but this time, Kazakhstan is responding differently.

Kazakh viewers and authorities denounced the film's portrayal of their country, saying it was full of offensive stereotypes and behavior by the titular character.

The tourism board quickly put together the videos after hearing of the Borat sequel, and timed their campaign to coincide with the movie's release, according to a news release. The campaign is intended to"celebrate Kazakhstan and show fans of the 'Borat Subsequent Moviefilm' around the world why they should come visit this incredible country," the release said.

"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."For context: in the first Borat film, the character welcomes viewers to his hometown by introducing them to"the town rapist" and"the No. 4 prostitute in all of Kazakhstan," his sister.

Kazakhstan Tourism - RevengeOnBorat! Kazakhs are TRUE Gentlemen. Not rude. Instead of insulting Borat / sachabaroncohen , they USE him to CHANGE his disgusting disinformation on Kazakhstan and 'Hit him in the face with a white glove'‼👌👏👏👊👊❤

Kazakhstan is definitely NOT *embracing Borat* as falsely reported by the sick MEDIA. Certainly NOT after Borats' xenophobic, racist remarks, debasing of Kazakh culture and societal values, and international humiliation of their country ‼

BOYCOTT ANY ADVERTISER THAT SUPPORTS CNN.

Good job Kazakhstan, hope you get a boost in tourism.
