Heavyweight Champ Out To Terrify Erudite British Comedians

The man pictured here is Wladimir Klitschko. It is telling that you might know who he is; he's the IBF, WBO and IBO world heavyweight champion, which isn't nearly as cool as it was 15 years ago. But still: The job of the heavyweight champion of the world is to be the "scariest man on earth," and make headlines for it. People don't have to watch boxing, they just have to know that the heavyweight champ is out there causing a ruckus. More »

Meanwhile, In New Zealand ...

If there's one rule I've lived by in this life, it's this: Never try to separate a New Zealand rugby fan from his mankini. The charming gentleman here is both a fan of the movie Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, and of fine rugby. But he and other fans like him are banned from wearing the Borat-style mankini at this year's International Sevens competition in Wellington. And now I, also, feel a bit sheepish about wearing mine at sporting events. Sorry, girls! More »

Please Do Not Run Over The Man In The Enormous Thong


If you think the Tour de France is boring, well, you're obviously missing the regular appearances from Borat. We hear they're making a new version of "American Gladiators." We're going to have to insist they all wear this swimsuit.

Mustache Love

A fun site is Morristache, the site that dares to celebrate both the glory that is Adam Morrison's mustache, and the mustache in general. One thing bothers us, however. Morristache includes a Hall of Fame section, in which such luminary mustaches as Rollie Fingers and Tom Selleck are included. But, neither Keith Hernandez nor Reggie Jackson are in there. Yes, shocking. More »

Their Coach? Steve Spurrier, Of Course

You might think that you know a great deal many facts about Kazakhstan, the home nation of one Borat Sagdiyev, but here's one we bet you didn't: They're outstanding at ice hockey. No, we mean really good at hockey. More »

We Say Replace Theismann With Borat Right Now

The Borat movie — Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan — is almost here, which pleases us greatly. We're kind of confounded by the release schedule, though. There was a premiere in Los Angeles on Monday (Defamer, of course, was there), and there was one last month in Toronto. Borat himself attended both, which leads us to believe that the film will be released in one theater at a time until the year 2011. More »

When Baseball Players Are Asked: 'You Have Haramph Like My Friend, Can I Touch?'

Like many of you, we suspect, we cannot wait for the new Borat movie, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. Therefore, we present this old Borat clip, as he visits a Savannah Sand Gnats minor league baseball game, with predictable results. No matter how cynical you may be, there's something about the Kazakhstan National Anthem that kind of gets you, right here. More »
