No, he is imitating Mahir Çagri, the Turkish man from the (in)famous "I kiss you!!!" web page from the remote year of 1999 AD. There is an ongoing discussion (and rumors of lawsuits) on whether and to which extent he influenced the Borat character, however, so you were not too far off.
Nono, David is not mocking anyone, trust me. He's just quoting an Internet fad from 1999: the home page of Mahir Cagri, a Turkish man who became a phenomenon for the simple reason that his picture laden personal web page sucked beyond belief. :-)
Mahir is still cult, believe me, and to prove it: Bowie is holding Mahir's photo in his hand.
Much more at Wikipedia. Just do a search for Mahir Cagri.
the picture he is holding is of a turkish man who got famous for making a small website about himself. what bowie was saying was the thing that the guy was saying on his website. the guy is supposedly the inspiration for borat. lol. thats why he was mispronouncing the words and stuff.
It's a picture of Mahir Çağrı, he's a Turkish fellow whose English is known for not being too good. He says things like, "I kiss you!" and "I like sex!" (hence Bowie's comment). Sacha Baron Cohen doesn't like Mr Çağrı, perhaps because the latter is not Jewish. It's sad people have to make fun of someone who is struggling to learn a language.
The thing that I take seriously is that Mahir Çağrı is trying his best to express himself in a language he doesn't know too well. It IS funny sounding but I honestly don't thing Mr Çağrı means it to be.
im a confirmed fan of that crazy movie, even though Borat says 'good morning' in polish just because poland is 'somewhere in the east'.. duh.. but it is even more hilarious. fatal ingorance about everything around.
This clip makes me pee my pants laughing. It always makes me think of this drunken Russian nazi fuck that always wants to fight with me on this site lol.
this clip from a canada TV show,"Musique plus" aired on 22-11-1999. bowie performed about 10 songs and had interview for a pretty long time in this show.
you can find more live clips from same show on youtube. bowie in yellow shirt like this.
Yep, that's Anne Marie in Montreal at Musiqueplus, she interviewed David when he was touring The Hours album. As per usual Bowie was a charismatic, intelligent, witty and fascinating guest.
Bah you fools, Borat is a much much older character than Mahir. The man who 'is' Mahir stated that Sacha Baron Cohen is his idol and main inspiration, Cohen has had Mahir over at his house a few times, and Cohen has taken one or two ideas from him since Mahirs creation, but originally Mahir is taken from Borat.
WTF?? a movie? are you smoking crack, or just thick mate? This was a spontaneous, improvised little joke David made during the promo tour for his album Hours, recorded back in the 90's!
I saw an interview here on the CBC with Mahir, apparently he is taking Borat(S.B.Cohen) to court for stealing his character without legal permission or compensation.
This was filmed here in Montreal,I remember seeing it on television during the time he was promoting "Hours", he was oozing with such mischeivious energy and excitement....If I'm not mistaken, Lexie was conceived if not actually born during this period.
OMFG! Why cant I stop laughing?
