Borat crossed my mind too Feb 1, 2011

.. is this real or has it been fictionalized? lol If it's the former, I'd rather we don't make fun of it.

Btw, text sounds as if it's been Google translated, although I'm sure Google would easily translate simple phrases such as "My height" correctly. Unless "height" in Turkish has problematic semantics versus English. Google would do much better in the most of the text, as it consists of simple phrases and clauses.
