Borat version of Kazakhstan anthem played during Kuwait award ceremony

The Guardian via Top99news:

Kazakhstan’s shooting team was taken by surprise when a spoof national anthem from the film Borat was used at a medal ceremony in Kuwait.

The team demanded an apology after Maria Dmitrienko was played the obscene song, which features lyrics about prostitutes and potassium exports, as she received her gold medal.

A video posted on YouTube shows Dmitrienko on the podium, her hand on her heart, looking perplexed as the song begins to play. She appears to see the funny side and is smiling by the end.

It includes the lines: “Kazakhstan’s prostitutes cleanest in the region/Except of course Turkmenistan’s.”
