Bringing Borat's Bounty Home

CATTLE-RICH Cohen Rehashing a Turkish Internet phenomenon and making red state fratboys and rodeo attendees look gullible on film is apparently worth $26.4 million, minimum (with a limited theatrical release, no less). So proves Sasha Baron Cohen with his yukfest, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. With all the emotional distress Borat has caused the jew-hating, sister-pimping people of Kazakhstan, Borat would do well to give a lil' something back to his motherland. Here's what $26.4 million will get you in the former Soviet Republic (note: prices calculated at the current exchange rate of 133 Tenge/U.S. dollar):
• 2,324,000 kilograms of unrefined livestock meat
• 767,123 kilograms of sausage
• Vet/health expenses for two million cattle
• Feed for 24.5 million kilograms of cattle
• 23,333 tons of wheat (market price)
• Snow furrowing 5,773,195 hectares of wheat
• 3,720,340 hours with a prostitute (city center)
• 7,440,680 hours with a prostitute (rural village)
