Due to sickness, school, work, and a general disinterest in television, I've missed Borat (whatever that is) completely.

A primer, and list of relevant links would be appreciated.

Thanks...

Do you have HBO? HBO is running an Ali G marathon sometime tomorrow, where the Borat character plays a prominent role in each episode.

Don't waste too much time worrying about it. He will be HUGE but only for a very short amount of time.

I don't have any any television service.. I'm entirely limited to the internets.

Da Ali G show is great, I watched it in college when I got HBO for $5 a month. Haven't watched it in 3 years though. :(
