Since I saw the first US Da Ali G Show on HBO, I have become a huge Sacha Baron Cohen fan.  Few people can think that quickly on their toes, let alone in character, without ever cracking a smile or giving up the gag.

Now Borat is on its way and making waves of its own.  First, it will premiere simultaneously on MySpace and real movie theaters.  Second, the President of Kazakhstan is on tour in the US, trying to disprove the movie's impression of his country.

Sacha is clearly an unrecognized genius.
