Borat Named New Kazakstani President

Lucy McNulty

Online encyclopaedia, Wikipedia has banned fans of Borat from tampering with the page for his home nation, Kazakstan, by locking the site.

The ban comes as cheeky fans named the fake reporter as president of the country and claimed its national anthem contained the words: “Kazakhstan greatest country in the world. All other countries are run by little girls”.

The Kazak Intelligence Services section was also altered to include “the Kuraczev reforms of 1978” which saw woman gaining permission to travel on the inside of buses.

A Wikipedia spokeperson said false entries were usually corrected by other users within minutes.

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan took £13.6million in its first weekend and was at No.1 in the US box office.
