Yes, I’m talking about Sasha Baron-Cohen. Just in case you were born after 2006, have learned to read and write, and found my website through some channels and are now wondering “What does Sasha Baron-Cohen have to do with Kazakhstan?” (let me first congratulate you on your progress in that case); Kazakhstan’s international image had suffered a blow with the release of “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit of the Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan” due to its portrayal of the Kazakh people as dumb tribal fucks who rape each other and live in places that look like confirming evolution.

Now, Austria is the next target in line for the nasty Jew; Sasha Baron-Cohen. As you probably know (no more joke attempts on that one), Cohen’s new fictional character is a gay fashion wannabe called Brüno, and he’s from Austria. Meet Brüno:

The gay Austrian fashion wannabe

There’s an upcoming movie of Bruno, and it’s making some Austrians unhappy, making them think they’ll share the same fate with Kazakhstan.

Now, you might want to say that Austria is a well-known Western nation that has absolutely nothing in common with Kazakhstan (which was a country that people knew little about, so it was easy to fool them into thinking what they saw was indeed Kazakhstan, which wasn’t the case); and you’d be partly correct. However, Austria is not only known for being a prosperous Western nation, but also for its prosperous Western people such as Adolf Hitler and the Almighty Josef Fritzl. And that’s exactly the point Brüno is hitting with some of the lines in his upcoming movie:

“K is for Kampf, as in ‘Mein Kampf,’ ze fashion bible written by Austria’s black sheep Adolf Hitler”

“I want to live the Austrian dream of finding a partner, buying a dungeon and starting a family.”

Even before the movie has been released, it has drewn criticism, which means that Cohen is right on track for the second time. Columnist Lisa Trompisch criticised Borat’s making fun of subjects such as “one raping his own daughter for 20 years”, “the Holocaust”.

The Austrian Broadcasting Corp. (ORF) is apparently concerned about Austria’s image. On an article published on its web site, the corporation said: “Could tourists be thinking of Nazis and hatred towards foreigners instead of mountains, lakes and friendly hosts wearing Dirndl dresses? Should we laugh about this movie, or should we simply ignore it? Is this going to threaten our country’s image?”
