Borat for Presi . . . oh, wait

Borat was briefly elected President of Kazakhstan, but only in a Wikipedia hack:

Fans logged onto internet site Wikipedia and edited the page for the fictional character's home nation.

The alterations to the site said the country's motto is "High Five" and the national anthem opening line was changed to say: "Kazakhstan greatest country in the world. All other countries are run by little girls."

The Wikipedia page in question has been locked. High marks to Wikipedia's users, who flagged the hacked page in short order.
