Borat fans vandalize Kazakhstan wikipedia page
The Kazakhstan page on Wikipedia has been locked down after it was vandalized by fans of the Borat movie.
The Borat character claims to come from the Central Asian nation of Kazakhstan and is played by Sacha Baron Cohen of Ali G fame. He depicts the country as a culturally backwards third world society where "now women can now ride on inside of bus".
The Wikipedia page was updated numerous times over the past months. Last July for instance, a user by the name of BoratSagdiyev changed the state motto to:
Kazakhstan is wonderful country. Now women can ride on inside of bus and homosexual no have to wear blue hat. Sacha Baron-Cohen the Jew he tell many lies.
The Borat has been around for years, but is attracting new attention after his movie launched in the US last week.
