After years of dismissing Borat’s highly unflattering portrayal of the country, Kazakhstan officials look to be adopting a different approach.
A large 366m diameter pentagram has been carved into the surface of the Earth in a remote area of Kazakhstan. It is so large that it can be clearly seen via satellite. Up until now, pundits have been mystified and intrigued by the pattern, but an archaeologist may be able to shed some light on the mystery. Experienced archaeologist Emma Usmanova said:
“Man’s best friend” takes on a whole new meaning after you read this amazing story. If you thought your dog was loyal, you’ve got nothing on this canine, who rescued his owner’s life – even though it would mean that he’d have to sacrifice his own.
The movie “Borat” didn’t exactly do well in Kazakhstan. After being banned, it took a full six years to realise the touristic potential of the film, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. But, the “glorious nation” has now issued an official thank you to Sacha Baron Cohen.
At a recent sporting event in Kuwait, a Kazakh girl won the gold medal. But check out the awkwardness when the Borat parody of the Kazakh national anthem is played during the ceremony! Some weeks earlier, Ricky Martin’s “Livin’ la Vida Loca” was also played instead of the country’s anthem at another sporting event. Both incredible moments can be seen after the jump.
