Borat Film Banned in Russia as `Offensive'

Russia banned the comedy film "Borat", a spoof movie depicting a misogynist, anti-Semitic, homophobic reporter from Kazakhstan, over concern it could offend audiences.

`We decided not to grant this film a cinema license because there are moments in the film which could offend some viewers' religious or national sensibilities," Yuri Vasyuchkov, head of the film licensing department at Russia's Moscow-based Federal Culture and Cinematography Agency, said today by phone.

Note: All of a sudden Russian becomes very moral :). Meanwhile, they don't mind to discriminate against Georgians and prosecute reporters for the free speach.
