Amazon has blamed a recent surge in the sales of the Borat 'Mankini' on a spoof video made by members of Great Britain's Olympic men's silver medal-winning eight crew.
The rowers perform Frank Sinatra' My Way in the video, with one, unnamed, rower stood in full Mankini glory on top of a mountain.
The swimsuit jumped to No.4 in Amazon's Toys and Games bestseller chart, selling out repeatedly over the last four weeks.
A man that works at Amazon said they were expecting a rise in swimwear sales due to how well Britain's swimmers have done, but that "the Mankini's success has taken us by surprise."
You certainly aren't alone there.

Wow. That's just wrong. I bet the view from behind is just as bad...
