Everybody wants in on the action it seems:

Will the real Borat please stand up? Fri Nov 10, 8:39 AM ET



Will the real Borat please stand up?

Turkish Internet celebrity Mahir Cagri is in London to press his case that he is the inspiration for the spoof Kazakh journalist, the creation of British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen whose Borat movie is taking the world's box office by storm.

The 44-year-old's Web site, with its "I Kiss You!!!!!" greeting, made him an unlikely Internet hero seven years ago.

Web surfers were hooked by Cagri's larger-than-life persona, cheesy holiday snaps and prominent nose and mustache.

"I like to take foto-camera (amimals, towns, nice nude models and peoples)," his site explains in less than perfect English, giving his personal details as: "My tall 1.84 cm (6.2 feet) My weight 78 kg. My eyes green. I live alone!"

In an interview Thursday, Cagri appeared and sounded uncannily like the fictitious Borat, the mustachioed man from Kazakhstan who offended people there by saying that they kept women in cages and drank fermented horse urine.

Interviewers could be forgiven for thinking they were being led into the kind of comic set-up that Cohen engineers.

After seeing the Borat film, Cagri now worries people who watch it might think he is like the on-screen character, who mocks Kazakhstan, indulges in naked wrestling and makes jokes at the expense of Jews on a raucous trip across the United States.

"If you (see) this, what you think about me?" he told Reuters in broken English. "Mahir is a very bad comedian, Mahir is a homosexual, Mahir may be say the bad things about Jewish people? This is very bad."

Cagri set up his Internet page (www.ikissyou.org) in the late 1990s to make new friends and possibly find a partner.

INTERNET SENSATION

At first he was taken aback by the sensation caused by the page, featuring photographs of him in skimpy swimwear on a beach, surrounded by young women and playing table tennis.

Computer billionaire Bill Gates was reportedly among his fans, and he embarked on a world tour on the strength of his sudden popularity appearing on chat shows and in commercials.

"I am a normal man. I never dreamed I would be famous, I would go to America. Suddenly I am famous. All people know me. All famous people know me too."

Now he is seeking publicity in the wake of Cohen, whose Borat film opened at the top of the U.S. charts earlier this month, taking an impressive $26.4 million in its first weekend.

"The world's media writes that Borat imitates and copies Mahir. He copies me, and he imitates me in a bad way," he said, adding that he is even considering legal action against Cohen.

Cohen was not immediately available for comment, but has said Borat was influenced by a doctor he met in southern Russia.

Cagri plans to make his own movie to show the "real Mahir."

Meanwhile, as his Web site says, he is open to offers.

"Who is want to come TURKEY I can invitate ... She can stay my home."

Mmmmm, fermented horse urine. That takes me back.

Law,
I was thinking you would be smarter then this...
Did I ever mention something about a cruise control in my post? Another typical lawyer...
Making stuff up along the way.
Also, you should know to respect your elder....
I really dont like to waste my valuable time with lawyers, so have a great life and I hope I never run into you in bze.

mrs. nuts here - mr. nuts says to say... patatjemet seems to have a problem with intelligent women! (Gotta love that guy)... Mr. nuts says patatjemet must have recently gotten divorced and her lawyer was better than his!!!

I'm trying to figure out how an RV keeps going while the driver is absent unless the cruise control is set or it's going down a hill??????

Maybe the "purse" was driving. It is a multifunctional accessory you know.

Murse - man purse, get with the times, guys! Or if you're a metrosexual - manbag!

(Bobber, this is not for you)

sorry about what is to come in this post but....

the most important thing that any of us can do, as humans, is to NOT assume we know what we would do until we ourselves are in the position to actually make decisions.

I was one of the drum beaters about frivolity, (former VP HR of intl co). Then, my husband was killed. Feel free to google him, Thomas Lennon, then type BWI. CNBC is currently doing a story on me and his mom, as did Miami Herald which was picked up by the AP wire.

Why? Why would the AP give a sh%^ about me...or my dead husband?

Tom was a pilot. he was flying a Mitsubishi MU2. of the 700+ MU2's made, over 27% have crashed. TWENTY SEVEN PERCENT.

And, thanks to a law passed in the 90's called GARA, you cannot sue a manufacturer for design defects or failure on an aircraft over 18 years old.

Now, Tom's plane crashed in a driveway 300 yards from the runway at 730 am on a beautiful May morning, 10 seconds after his last communication to the tower clearing him to land. There were dozens of witnesses becuase kids getting on a school bus watched plane parts fly by, as did the owner of the house who missed getting hit by mere feet, as did the man across the street who had just sat in his car and the door was torn off by the engine as he reached to close it. Not another soul sustained a single injury, save of course, my beloved husband. Thank god...i do thank god for that every day.

An Mu2 has crashed EVERY 6 weeks since my husbands crash

Bills have been put before the Senate. The FAA has been asked to investigate. I have had dinner with congressmen in washington.

The plane continues to fly.

Why?

Cause there is no one to sue. There is no accountability on ANYONE's part. I will never know why my 34 year old husband died that day. Why? Because the NTSB released the wreckage to his employers insurance company THREE hours after the crash. And, with no one to sue, there is no one to pay the hundreds of thousands of dollars it would take to find out why the plane crashed.

Needless to say, there is more and more and more to this story, but i wont bore you with it. All i have to say is, before anyone judges the merits of anything, and before anyone even for a moment thinks they know what they would do, stop yourselves. I assure you, you dont.

In order for our economic, legal and social systems to work, there MUST be accountability. If you remove it cause there doesnt seem to be a case, you could be me.

I'll get off my soap box now.

Lara, my heart goes out to you.
