Will the real Borat please stand up?

As we all must know by now the people of Kazakhstan less than pleased with Sacha Baron Cohen, at least when he's in the guise of Kazakh journalist Borat. With the release of his mockumentary film, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, it seems that Kazakhstan may be ready to fight back.

Jantemir (Jantik) Baimukhamedov is perhaps one of the more famous television personalities in the country and perhaps comes closest to claiming the title of the real Borat. He is threatening to crash the London premiere of the film with his mother and his horse.

Unlike Hollywood at least there's some grass in Leicester Square for the horse to graze on.
