Borat is 19th Most Powerful in Britain

Fictional Kazakh journalist Borat, the creation of comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, recently topped GQ magazine’s annual list of top 100 most powerful men in Britain. The character is ranked 19th on the list, just one place behind Prince William.

Following lawsuits from Southern conservatives, frat boys, Romanian villagers and seemingly every other group in the “U.S. and A.,” Sacha Baron Cohen could be facing even more legal difficulties. This time his accuser is an Israeli comedian who claims that Borat’s signature exclamation of excitement — “Wa wa wee wa” — belongs to him.
