Cosmonaut golfs his way across outer space...not Borat, not yet.

Borat heads to outer space?

The most wary of words…If All Goes As Planned…have been applied to the latest golfing stunt, courtesy of Element 21.

Element 21 is a rising spec in the golf industry. With offices in Toronto, Jersey City, and a sales distributor in Germany, Element 21 is basing its hopes on two elements: scandium and a shot seen across the sky. Scandium is, briefly, a Russian-designed element, while the shot seen across the skies is a blast from a Russian cosmonaut this evening. Anchored to a special tether, with the ball encased in a unique sleeve, Mikhail Tyurin will take a swing not seen in those environs since Alan Shepard a quarter-century ago.

Now, I’m thinking, how can we spin this to connect with the Borat phenomenon? Well, to be blunt, it’s one of the few stunts Borat hasn’t tried. Perhaps he could interview Tyurin live, mid-swing, in either one’s native tongue…hmmm. Another thought might be to have the Kazakhstan-born Borat ride another rocket into the region beyond, accompanied by his brother Bilo, he of the strong arms and 204 teeth, and attempt to outdue Tyurin’s anticipated two or three orbits of the planet.
Where to be is my Bilo brother?
We’ll just have to stay tuned, I guess. Watch it live or on video on the E21 site.

The French love Jerry Lewis, I love that moron Cohen. I can't define it, nor apologize for it. Why do they call you booger? Or, do you call yourself booger?

Borat isn't Kazakh, you know. Isn't even a real person, you know. Very much like Archie Bunker, though. Similar strategy: Hold up an unflattering mirror to let people see how silly racisim/sexism/etc. is and laugh at it as a way to begin to examine its faults. People who don't like this approach tend to be of two camps: Those who live in such an iolated world they don't know people like that really exist, and those who see themselves and are not amused.

Kiel...thanks for pointing that out. I thought that the movie about Borat was an autobiographical piece, but now I know better.

Booger..succinct, yet somehow lacking.

Mike...Thank you. I found it to be remarkably creative. Most people don't get it, but you did. You are really perceptive, and should receive more credit for your gifts. Can we send you something as a token of our esteem?

Toronto, Canada-based E-21 is the front for Russian mafia to launder money....They keep pouring so-called R&D money into 'product development'. They will never deliver anything to the market, and when the operaiton runs its course, they will simply shut down and become a company developing new material for 'tennis racket'....
