"Borat" anthem at sport event angers Kazakhstan

(AP) MOSCOW - Kazakhstan has called the playing of a spoof of its national anthem at an international sporting event "a scandal" and demanded an investigation of the incident.

Maria Dmitrienko won a gold medal for Kazakhstan on Thursday at the Arab Shooting Championships in Kuwait, but during the award ceremony the public address system broadcast the spoof anthem from the 2006 movie "Borat," which offended many Kazakhs by portraying the country as backward and degenerate..

Foreign Ministry spokesman Ilyas Omarov told the ITAR-Tass news agency the incident "is, of course, a scandal and demands a thorough investigation, which we intend to conduct."

Lyrics

Kazakhstan greatest country in the world.
All other countries are run by little girls.
Kazakhstan number one exporter of potassium.
Other countries have inferior potassium.

Kazakhstan home of Tinshein swimming pool.
It’s length thirty meter and width six meter.
Filtration system a marvel to behold.
It remove 80 percent of human solid waste.

Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan you very nice place.
From Plains of Tarashek to Northern fence of Jewtown.
Kazakhstan friend of all except Uzbekistan.
They very nosey people with bone in their brain.

Kazakhstan industry best in world.
We invented toffee and trouser belt.
Kazakhstan’s prostitutes cleanest in the region.
Except of course for Turkmenistan’s.

Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan you very nice place.
From Plains of Tarashek to Norther fence of Jewtown.

Come grasp the mighty p***s of our leader.
From junction with the testes to tip of its face!

Ouch..thats cant be just a simple mess up , it must be an intentional attempt to embarrass Kazakhstan. Who knows what the true motive was but even if this was meant as a joke this could cause a lot of trouble.

Still it must have been pretty funny at the time.

I actually laughed pretty hard at this im not going to lie I wonder if this is some kind of publicity stunt before his new movie because she seems to take it very well almost like she doesn't care at all

Hahaha damn that # is hilarious.

maybe they got the anthem from youtube or something )

Omg will they ever get over Borat? Its been four years! Come on now, isnt there something else for them to get riled up about? Standard of living? Health insurance? NO! Damn that Sasha Baron Cohen, he has slandered our great countires name!

This is hilarious! However, you'd think Kuwait would have people double checking stuff like this. The look on that girl's face was priceless though!
