<p> A gold-medal winning athlete from Kazakhstan was forced to stand  through a national anthem that insulted other countries and boasted of  her nation's "clean prostitutes" when organizers at a shooting  competition accidentally played a fake anthem from the comedy film  "Borat."</p>

<p> Gold medalist Maria Dmitrienko never lets on that there's a problem  and graciously poses for photos with the other medalists following the  ceremony.</p>



<p> Dmitrienko won the 75 target event at the 10th Arab Shooting  Championship in Kuwait on Thursday. She stood on the podium with the  event's other medal winners and expected to hear "My Kazakhstan."  Instead, she was greeted with Sacha Baron Cohen's mock anthem from his  2006 film.</p>

<p>Organizers apparently downloaded the anthem from the Internet by  mistake. The song was filled with references to potassium (Kazakhstan's  top export), dirty swimming pools and insults of other countries and  religions.</p>

<p> Dmitrienko's Kazakh teammates were reportedly incensed with the  mistake. They demanded another ceremony and an apology from organizers.</p>

<p> Cohen's film was banned in both Kazakhstan and Kuwait for its negative portrayal of the Asian country.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/topic/22436/this-is-hysterical</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 10:30:07 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://brownsboard.com/topic/22436.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Sat, 24 Mar 2012 12:27:28 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to This Is Hysterical! on Sat, 24 Mar 2012 19:21:32 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>That's hilarious.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/279772</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/279772</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[VaporTrail]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 24 Mar 2012 19:21:32 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to This Is Hysterical! on Sat, 24 Mar 2012 17:37:44 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Wow those organizers are Retarded</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/279746</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/279746</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[MLD Woody]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 24 Mar 2012 17:37:44 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
