Kazakhstan's shooting team was taken by surprise when a spoof national anthem from the film Borat was used at a medal ceremony in Kuwait. The spoof song was taken from Sacha Baron Cohen's 2006 film, "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan." The team demanded an apology after the obscene song, which features lyrics about prostitutes and potassium exports, was played while Maria Dmitrienko received her gold medal. The blunder apparently occurred after the event's organisers downloaded the parody from the internet by mistake. They also got the Serbian anthem wrong. An apology was issued and the ceremony staged again. However, the Kazakhstan Foreign Ministry has demanded "a thorough investigation of the incident."
