Sacha Baron Cohen's TV alter ego Borat Sagdiyev has jokingly responded to a legal threat from the Kazakhstan government accusing him of portraying the nation as a country of drunken Stalinists.

"Women can now travel on inside of bus, homosexuals no longer have to wear blue hat and age of consent has been raised to eight years old."

Cohen's spoof reporter has previously slammed the country for mock past-times including gypsy catching, goat punching, caging women, and the joys of shooting dogs.

A dog named 'Columbo', a cross-breed between a poodle and a Maltese and dyed to look like a panda, sits on a chair in Tokyo November 30, 2005. The owner dyed the originally white coloured dog, with a special hair dye to cover up stains around its eyes which was conspicuous when he was first found abandoned. As a result, the panda look-alike became the most popular dog in the neighbourhood and the owner said he hopes Columbo's popularity will help rescue other abandoned dogs like Columbo, where in Tokyo last year, 700 of them were put to sleep.
