Lessons from Kuwait on how to offend people

Everyone makes mistakes. Even supervillains make mistakes.
There are also times when you should just pretend that your mistake was deliberate & all part of your supervillainous plan to take over the world!
Case in point: a recent medal ceremony at a shooting event in Kuwait (10th Arab Shooting Championship), saw organisers playing the incorrect anthems for Kazakhstan & Serbia. Unfortunately the anthem they did play for the Kazakhstan champ was the fake national anthem from the film Borat,
The film caused such an offence in Kazakhstan that it was eventually banned from the country & the government apparently threatened Sasha Baron Cohen with legal action....
Nice one guys!
Of course, they say it was downloaded by accident - so either they have just learned the hard way that one should seriously review the torrents you search for & download, or someone pulled off a brilliant but premature April Fool's.


My guess is that somewhere, someone is having the last laugh & it's a side-splitting one!
