*** The much hyped movie "Borat" pokes fun at misogynistic stereotypes about Eastern Europeans/West-Central-Asians. A Pole concurs with the depiction:

'Polish Borat' claims groping women is normal in Eastern Europe

To the women he groped and grunted at, Thomasz Stepniowski's sleazy behaviour was no laughing matter.

But for the 24-year-old Pole it was all perfectly acceptable.

This, he claimed, was because such "cultural naughtiness" is entirely normal in Eastern Europe.

And a court heard the factory worker - dubbed the Polish Borat by neighbours - was even backed by his female interpreter during a police interview.

Related flashback: Vladimir Putin's disturbing remarks to Ehud Olmert, caught on an open mic:
