Bruno Dupes Texans into New Talk Show
Last week in Texas Sacha Baron Cohen and staff staged yet another fake show. This time it was a talk show filmed in front of a Texas live studio audience. At one point Bruno tried to seduce an audience member who was referred to by one audience member as a “good ol’ boy”. The man responded by saying that he’d hoped to introduce him to his “Smith & Wesson.”
Then came the point in the show that outraged almost all of the audience members. Bruno brought out his next guest, who happened to be a toddler who could not be more than 1 or 2 years old, who wore a t-shirt stating he was gay! That is when audience members got up and walked out.
Bruno Stages Cage Fight in Arkansas
Suckered in by $1 beers, Hot Chicks and only a $5 entry fee, Arkansas fight fans got to be extras in the new Bruno movie. Sacha Baron Cohen and crew organized two consecutive days of fights in Fort Smith and Texarkana. Both days ended in matches with “Straight Dave” (who wore camoflage) tearing clothes off his opponent and kissing down each other’s chest. According to one cop who was at the convention center, fans got angry and threw chairs and beers at the ring. The cages fights were advertised around town and on Craigslist as “Blue Collar Brawlin”.
Ex-Mossad Agent duped by Bruno
Sacha Baron Cohen has been in Israel the past couple of weeks filming scenes for the new Bruno Movie. His latest interview was with Israeli analyst Yossi Alpher, a former Mossad official. Yossi says that he was told that he was being interviewed for a documentary on the Israeli - Palestinian conflict. Bruno claimed that he was a German rock star.
They took us down winding stone stairs and through long corridors, ostensibly to have some make-up dabbed on our noses for the cameras, in fact to meet the interviewer and test his disguise. We confronted a tall, blond-ish man in his thirties, dressed in leather and studs, his face heavily powdered, his arms and chest shaven. He spoke in a heavy German accent, his movements and mannerisms ultra-gay. He tried to write down our names, but they came out dyslexic.
And they were, indeed, basic, relating to our expectations for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Then one of us mentioned Hamas, and the exchange that ensued went something like this:”Vait, vait. Vat’s zee connection between a political movement and food. Vy hummus?”
We exchanged astonished glances. “Hamas,” we explained, “is a Palestinian Islamist political movement. Hummus is a food.”
“Ya, but vy hummus? Yesterday I had to throw away my pita bread because it vas dripping hummus. Unt it’s too high in carbohydrates.”
The Hamas-hummus confusion went on for several minutes. Then, the interviewer declared: “Your conflict is not so bad. Jennifer-Angelina is worse.”
