Miss Kazakhstan says 'Borat' only a joke

MEXICO CITY: Miss Kazakhstan said the movie "Borat," which pokes fun at her Central Asian nation, was "only a joke" and gave much-need publicity to her county.

The contestant to the Miss Universe beauty pageant, whose name is Gauhkar Rakhmetalieva, said her government will soon release its own film, which builds on the exposure of Kazakhstan but shows the nation's positive sides.

"In the end we have to understand that it was only a joke," Rakhmetalieva said ahead of Monday's Miss Universe pageant in Mexico City. "The advantage is that now our country is world famous. As people are looking toward us, we have the opportunity to show how we really are: a modern country with infrastructure and a very developed culture."
