Much like swine flu, Olympic fever has swept the entire globe! Around the world, people are glued to their televisions watching every moment live, unless they live in the U.S. But there are a lucky few who made it to foggy London town to watch the games in person, and a good number of them seem to be fans of Borat.
The spectators have apparently been harassing the Kazakhstani athletes when they win a medal with quotes from the Sacha Baron Cohen movie that so tightly binds our country and theirs. It’s to the point where they are asking their diplomats to tell people to tone it down.
“We tried not to pay attention to it but it’s still … how can I say it, it’s your country. Of course nobody takes it seriously but there are some thing that you cannot tolerate, things about your mother and sister. No matter how democratic you are you will never tolerate the words that Borat was saying about us,” Kazakhstan’s Deputy Chef de Mission Aslan Amanov said.
In other news, apparently Kazakhstanis understand English.
