Maybe it's because it's just not my thing, but I think I lagged behind the rest of the world in first hearing of Ali G. I finally learnt he existed when it became physically difficult not to know. For similar reasons, I had never heard of Borat until Kazakhstan complained about his misrepresentation of their fine country.
However, today's story that Kazakhstan has managed to issue bank notes that spell "bank" wrong hasn't really helped their case.
That's splendid! Nearly as good as when David Beckham got a tattoo with a spelling mistake in it. Class.
