Kazakhstan Regains Its Seriousness With This Tupac Video

After years of living in the long shadow of Borat's silly caricaturization of their long and rich history and peoples, reducing a noble and proud former Soviet Republic to a struggling band of cow-raping children of incest, the people of Kazakhstan can rejoice in their return to a state of quiet respect and hard-earned dignity.

That Kazakhstani kid with the backwards hat (00:43) looks a little too happy about Huey being dead. Suspicious? Um, yes.

I'm more worried about the guy who finds kids selling crack to be funny.

The best part about this is that the song probably just came out in Kazakhstan. At least they can still disco dance to the beat.

Seriously. Tupac Shakur, rest in peace. He was the best. He knew that sometimes, people make a war.

If they want to get taken seriously, they should probably change their tourism slogan from "Kazakhstan: VERY NICE!!!"

So who came up with this concept? I mean, well done, well executed... But God, Tupac doesn't strike me as the first song I'd let these Mongols (lols) have a crack at.

Let's never forget that it was from here that man first ventured into space, and who can blame him.
