Kuwait Played Borat’s Hilariously Obscene Fake Anthem as the Real Kazakhstan National Anthem

Winning a sporting event while representing your country is supposed to be a moment of pride—standing atop the medal podium, hearing your national anthem, feeling all your hard work pay off. Not for this Kazakhstan athlete in Kuwait. Kuwait accidentally blared Borat's obscene parody anthem thinking it was Kazakhstan's real anthem.

Yes, the Kazakhstan anthem from Borat. The same one that includes lyrics which extoll Kazakhstan's prostitutes as the cleanest in the region, calls Israel Jewtown, discusses testes and is prideful of an 80% effective waste filtration system. That song. From the movie that completely embarrassed Kazakhstan.

How could this happen? Did the audio guy download the Borat Kazakhstan anthem mp3 from a dark area of the Internet? Did he scour YouTube once he realized Kazakhstan was going to win? How does this system usually work? There isn't an Olympics approved database of national anthems? Is it possible to ever hear Team America's "America Fuck Yeah" play at an event?

No matter what, it's amazing that the Kazakhstan athlete handled the situation so well. She should get a gold medal for being a very nice and calm human being. [The Daily What]

Kazakhstan National Anthem - Borat [with lyrics]

1. I know I'm probably supposed to be outraged

But this has to be a very unfortunate misunderstanding. I LOL'ed.

[dipsydoodle]

2. Amazing

[MineralMan]

3. You'll find way more copies of the Borat version

on the Internet than the official version. I'm sure it was just a mistake, but what a whopper!

[Xithras]

8. Yep.

I just did a search on Google. Two of the first three results were for the Borat version. If you search on Youtube, the Borat version actually comes up BEFORE the official version. If someone didn't speak English, Russian, or Kazakh as a first language, it would be a fairly easy mistake to make.

4. There is a good chance that the person in charge of getting the anthem either...

speaks English as a second language or not at all. If you just listen to the music it sounds like a legitimate anthem.

5. I wonder if the athlete from Kazakhstan speaks English? n/t

6. I can't help laughing my butt off

at this even though this is seriously embarrassing for someone.

7. Who ever did this, will probably be kept for a cage in the basement from now on. n/t
