Character created and performed by Sacha Baron
Cohen.
Borat is a journalist for Kazakhstani television, hosting a series on Western life and culture: 'Borat'
s Guide to Britain' and
later 'Borat's Guide to America'.
Borat attends social events and suchlike, asking odd questions and embarrasing the subject of interviews with obscure (fabricated) Kazakhstani customs.
After being told he should, in polite circles, ask to be excused before leaving the
table, he returned, saying 'I had a
good shiit'. Also asked the organiser of a party at Oxford University if they were planning to hire prostitutes.
