A minor oopsie

From the Beeb:
Borat anthem stuns Kazakh gold medallist in Kuwait
Kazakhstan's shooting team has been left stunned after a comedy national anthem from the film Borat was played at a medal ceremony at championships in Kuwait instead of the real one.

The team asked for an apology and the medal ceremony was later rerun.

The team's coach told Kazakh media the organisers had downloaded the parody from the internet by mistake.
A bit more:
"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 spoof song praises Kazakhstan for its superior potassium exports and for having the cleanest prostitutes in the region.
The film was a lot of fun. Sad that the people doing the sound didn't check their sources... Posted by DaveH at March 23, 2012 10:49 PM
