The mocumentary BORAT is banned in all Arab countries except Lebanon
“Another week, another controversy for Borat, as it emerged that Twentieth Century Fox’s comedy has been banned from every Arab country except Lebanon.
Variety reports that the Sacha Baron-Cohen creation has fallen foul of censors in the Gulf, a region not known for its tolerance towards the arts.
A censor at Dubai’s Ministry of Information called Borat “”vile, gross and extremely ridiculous”", adding that if all the offensive scenes were cut out, only 30 minutes would remain.
Meanwhile the film continues to enjoy a storming box office run in other parts of the world and is close to racking up £101m ($200m) in global ticket sales.”
