Borat Theme Played Instead Of Kazakstan National Anthem At Kuwaiti Sporting Event (VIDEO)

Wo-wo-wee-wah! Kazakh athletes were left enraged after a parody of their national anthem from the spoof film "Borat" was played for a gold medallist at a competition in Kuwait.

Mariya Dmitriyenko won a gold medal in the 75 target event at the 10th Arab Shooting Championship in Kuwait, when the offending anthem was played. Instead of hearing "My Kazakhstan", (you can listen to a excerpt here), she was forced to endure a song that mocked her country.

Other Kazakh athletes immediately demanded that organizers turn the song off, only to be told that was the music authorities had provided, according to Radio Free Europe.

The Kazakh team requested an apology from the organizers and the medal ceremony was subsequently re-run.

The song came from the 2006 film "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan", which caused widespread outrage in Kazakhstan for its unflattering portrayal of life in the country.

The spoof song praises Kazakhstan for its superior potassium exports and for having the cleanest prostitutes in the region.

Kazakhstan experienced a similar gaffe on its own soil back in March, according to RT.com. Organizers of a domestic skiing festival played Ricky Martin’s Livin’ la Vida Loca instead of the Kazakh national anthem.

to REINEN VERNUFT you can go wallow in hogshit. though i am not looking foward to the day you and your violent people destroy israel it is clearly coming. clearly though palestiniens are far better than isralies , after all they have contribution to arts and music, scientific and medical advances and are even kind enough to treat wounded palestinians in their hospitals where as palestinians simply don't care how many of their own kind are injured or killed as long as isralies die. by the way your version of that song sucks.

Actually, I'd rather hear "La Vida Loca" instead of "The Star Spangled Banner" at US sporting events.

Borat is in the same class as Colbert and Stewart just a little more .offensive and disrespectful.

Are they no longer proud of their clean prostitutes?

Arabs are trying to imitate Western Olympic but they cannot copy basic western intelligence

I_srael cheesiest country in the world.
All other countries are run by little g_oys.
Israel number one importer of sex slaves and blood diamonds.
Other countries have less stolen transplant organs.

I_srael, home to illegal settlements everywhere.
Their three hundred meter length and hundred meter girth
From whence River Jordan receives effluent human waste
Make a P_alestinian roadblock system a marvel to behold.

By some ungodly circumstance that an Israeli "athlete" should somehow win an event at the upcoming Olympics may I suggest this little ditty being played in their honor "Das Judenthum in der Musik".

"Mariya Dmitriyenko won a gold medal in the 75 target event at the 10th Arab Shooting Championship in Kuwait..."

Seriously, there's a official competition for shooting Arabs? ;-)

Ms. Dmitriyenko showed a great deal of composure and class. I can only imagine having such a moment ruined.

The look on her faced clearly showed she had no idea what that song was all about.
There's some chance she didn't even know Kazakh national anthem, given her Ukrainian name and Slavic features. She could've been team hopping.
See American athletes representing various countries.

I don't see what is so shameful about an abundance of potassium and clean prostitutes.

[FilthyHarry]

Clearly its better than being potassium deficient and having dirty pros.
