Fun talk:Kazakhstan

I doubt that this is in the public domain, & we sure as hell don't need it here. Weaseloid^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 18:23, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, even my sister (number 4 prostitute in all of Kazakhstan) would struggle to argue fair use on this. ^{Ask me about your mother} 18:25, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

You've never seen Borat, have you?UncleHo (talk) 18:25, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Borat is a documentary, at least by Michael Moore standards, but we can't just lift bits out of it. --^{Ask me about your mother} 18:27, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

I don't know, I was under the impression that so long as we're not using it for commercial means, the lyrics to any song fall under fair use. Otherwise, the 60,000 lyric sites would be shut down.UncleHo (talk) 18:31, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

It varies a bit, but fair use generally doesn't allow unrestricted use for non-commercial purposes. To be honest, I don't think we'd get trouble over this. I think it's more a case of wondering why we have the article? --^{Ask me about your mother} 18:35, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

If it were Uncyclopedia I'd say take the Borat stuff and write a full article based on it. That would be pretty funny. As it is here, it may not fit in. The mob will probably come to some kind of consensus. --^{Ask me about your mother} 18:38, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Well, we have non-serious articles here, too. Perhaps someone could write a few serious words about Kazakhstan, then we could Borat-ize this article for the fun version?UncleHo (talk) 18:39, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Why would we need to? There are hundreds of other places on the internet for that. If we have anything pertinent to say about Kazakhstan, we can write an article about it. But we don't need to create an article just as an excuse for hosting the same tired lame Borat schtick. Weaseloid^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 18:43, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Mein gott, man, it's just the Internet, the most wretched hive of scum and villainy this side of Wasilla, Alaska. Tired shticks and pornography is about all we have going for us.UncleHo (talk) 18:49, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

I'd say kill it (with fire) unless someone wants to shift it to fun and do something less plagiarising with it, like write a "serious" article that contains "facts" from the Borat song. ^bomination 18:50, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Where I come from, quoting Borat four years later is like a poorly constructed "that's what she said" in mixed company. User:TKEtoolshed

That would work, Armondikov. Although I don't know how to shift things to fun because I'm the least qualified Admin ever and hung over.UncleHo (talk) 18:54, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

I've relocated it. I'll have a look tomorrow to see what can be done to make my whore of a sister proud. ^{Ask me about your mother} 18:58, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Fuck I hate Borat

Millions of unfunny people copying it killed for me any joke that it may have possessed. - π 04:09, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

I hate Australians. Millions of people trying to copy Crocodile Dundee killed it for me. Aceⁱ⁹ 04:12, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Something I am glad I have never experienced. - π 04:13, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Pfffft I see it everwhere. People wearing snake/croc skin and saying to all and sundry "That's not a knife, this is a knife!" while holding up a fork or someones wooden leg. Aceⁱ⁹ 04:18, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

I have heard that Australians put it on a bit when they leave the country. - π 04:26, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
