Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt


Lured by $1 beer and the prospect of "hot chicks" and "hardcore fights," thousands of Arkansans were duped last month into appearing as extras in comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's latest staged mayhem. Cohen and his confederates organized cage fighting programs on consecutive days in Texarkana and Fort Smith. Both cards ended with two male grapplers (one was identified as "Straight Dave" and wore camouflage) tearing each other's clothes off and, while in underwear, kissing down their opponent's chest. This man-on-man action triggered Fort Smith fans to throw chairs and beer at the ring, according to one cop present at the city's Convention Center.

The June 6 matches in Fort Smith were dubbed "Blue Collar Brawlin'" and were advertised with the poster seen below. Ads on Craigslist--like this one--noted that attendees had to be over 21 and suggested that fans arrive early "for $1 BEERS!" Cohen & Co. underwrote the cost of beer, which usually sells for $4 at the Fort Smith facility. "Blue Collar Brawlin'" drew about 1500 fans, who were greeted by signs stating that the event was being filmed.

No footage? Or do we have to watch his show when it comes on?

They are shooting a movie, I'm guessing this is for that.

I don't know, if I was expecting to see some fighting and it turned out to be a gay porn show I might be a little pissed off too.

Sacha Baron Cohen is a legend.

[Sliver]

Can't wait to see it. The best parts from Borat were when showing the public reactions.

Love stuff like that.

I've never seen Borat, and I think you've just sealed my love of the movie right there.

 

[Acepilotf14]

I loved the part where Borat and his producer guy were fighting naked through the hotel...
oh christ, I was laughing so hard.

Quite right. I'm not saying I wouldn't have found it funny, nor am I denying that there was in all likeliness some deep-seated homophobic revulsion on display. But there's probably less at work here than mass insidious gay-bashing.

Sooo meta, man. Homophobiaphobia. Also, I agree.

 

[CptStern]

I'd find it funny, then horrifying followed by a need to find some other bluecollar brawlin + chicks n beer event

 

[Jintor]

This is weird. And hilarious. But weird.

 

[No Limit]

Anyone know when this movie is supposed to come out? It will probably be a must see.

 

[mastag]

Epic.
