"Borat" Kazakhstan Anthem Leads to Medal Ceremony Debacle

Making for quite the embarrassing mistake, a spoof version of the Kazakhstan anthem from "Borat" was mistakenly played during an awards ceremony and, surprisingly, Sacha Baron Cohen - who starred in the film - had nothing to do with it.

Organizers of Kuwait's 10th Arab Shooting Championship had some explaining to do when the nasty version of the country's anthem was played after Kazakhstan shooting-team member, Maria Dmitrienko, took to the stage to accept her gold medal.

The triumphant athlete kept a straight face as the Borat version rang out lyrics like, ?Kazakhstan, greatest country in the world, all other countries are run by little girls?.Kazakhstan prostitutes, cleanest in the region".

After the major mistake was realized, the team asked for an apology and the awards ceremony was repeated with the right anthem.

The organizers behind the event claim the mistake was simply a downloading error.
