There has been many perk of be in this moviefilm — example I can now get table at Almaty McDonalds with as little as 2 month notice. The wait time is normal 4 years. Also, along with OJ Simpsons and our glorious leader, Premier Nazarbayev, I was one of judge on hit TV show, ‘Kazakhstan’s Next Top Prostitute’. I give decision for ‘Best Grip of Small Hole’ round. Hi-Five!

I recent meet beautiful popular musicstar, Madonna, in Hollywood outside Chinese Theatre. She let me take photograph for 5 US dollar and say that for another ten she would give me mouth party in parking lot across street.

My 12 year old son, Hooeylewis have already start in this showbizness and recent become actor in Kazakh version of ‘Telebubbies’. He good, but still very nervous of camera — especially for sex scenes. I do not know why — he have magnificent chram, circumference 16.4 centimetre and should be proud to show it to the other childrens.

The Kazakh government has shut down your website and threatened to sue Sacha Baron Cohen for defaming the people of Kazakhstan. What do you say in response?
Firstly I am respectable, professional journalist and I will not be drawn into mudslingings with anyone — especially not a Jew. Second, I would like thank the glorious Premier of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, for recent travel to Washingtons to support me and promote this moviefilm.

Yes. As sign of respect and gratitude to my Premier’s daughter, I send her gifts of hair comb, detergent with scent and a new mat for her cage.

Do you have a bodyguard to protect you from your enemies?
I am protect by the Kazakh Army, who will not hesitate to use their crossbows if I am attack and also I wear a jar of gypsy tears around my neck for keep out disease and curse.

There is a very graphic nude scene in your movie and a lot of vulgar language. Did you have any trouble getting anything past the American ratings board?
There was no problem in US and A — although Kazakh censor did give this movie their most strict ratings, meaning no one there can look on it if they younger than 3 years old. Kazakh censor was also concern about amount of anti-Semitisms it contain, although eventually they decide there just enough and allow it be release.
