Borat version of national anthem is played A shooting competition held in Kuwait managed to mix up the actual national anthem of Kazakstan with an obscene parody featured in the film Borat. The athlete on the podium, gold medallist Maria Dmitrienko, maintained her dignity throughout, only raising concerns afterwards, demanding an apology and for the medal ceremony to be rerun. Thumbs down: Sacha Baron Cohen achieved notoriety for his portrayal of a Kazakh journalist Coach Anvar Yunusmetov told Kazakh news agency Tengrinews the tournament's organisers had also got the Serbian national anthem wrong. 'Then Maria Dmitrienko's turn came,' he said. 'She got up on to the pedestal and they played a completely different anthem, offensive to Kazakhstan.' The parody, from the 2006 movie by English comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, praises Kazakhstan for its superior potassium exports and for having the cleanest prostitutes in the region.
Absolute disgrace. The lass should have walked off the podium. Somebodies head should roll for that. trained all that time only for some tosser to extract the urine.
