Kazakhstan, You Very Nice Place

Be careful what you download:

During a recent sports event in Kuwait, the wrong national anthem for Kazakhstan played during the medal ceremony.

Instead, it was the spoof from the 2006 satirical film starring Sacha Baron Cohen, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, that was heard throughout the arena at the 10th Arab Shooting Championship…

…[E]vent organizers apologized for the mistake and the medal ceremony took place again. It was revealed that organizers had downloaded the wrong song from the Internet.

I just… I just… wow. -_-

Wow, I assume the girl understands English. She managed to keep her composure pretty well, all things considered.

@Borat

Kazakhstan’s prostitutes are the cleanest in the region, except, of course, for Turkmenistan’s. Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan, you very nice place … come grasp the mighty penis of our leader from junction with testes to tip of its face.

This story made me happy. I wish things like this happened more often.

Very nice!

I would love to hear a few wrong anthems at the upcoming olympics.

How about Je t’aime for France? Imagine the French Gold medal winner looking adoringly at his trophy, how much more fitting could it be?

Borat’s film was banned in many muslim countries, so it’s not too surprising that the organizers wouldn’t be aware of it.

When she won the Eurovision song contest for Germany, Lena Meyer-Landrut led the celebrating crowd in American expat Verna May Bentley-Krause’s “Ich Liebe Deutsche Land”, from TV Total. IMHO that really ought to be their anthem.

I have to feel sorry for that woman, but I can’t help laughing at this.

So now Kazakhstan has another type of problem, exacerbating their existing economic, social, and Jew problems.

Jew problems? Was that meant as some kind of joke? Because I don’t get it.

I hope this helps.

Yes. Now I feel stupid. I’ve seen Borat, and this thread is partly about Borat, so I should have realized that robert_columbia’s post was a reference to the movie. :smack:
