'Ali G' Comedian Risks Riot at U.S. Rodeo

LONDON (Reuters) - British comedian Sasha Baron Cohen escaped a near-riot at an American rodeo while filming his satirical "Da Ali G Show."

 

 

According to a report in the Roanoke (Virginia) Times, a man who was introduced as Boraq Sagdiyev from Kazakhstan -- in reality a Cohen character named Borat -- appeared at the rodeo over the weekend after organizers agreed to have him sing the national anthem.

 

After telling the crowd he supported America's war on terrorism, he said, "I hope you kill every man, woman and child in Iraq (news - web sites), down to the lizards ... And may George W. Bush drink the blood of every man, woman and child in Iraq." He then sang a garbled version of "The Star-Spangled Banner."

 

The Roanoke Times reported that the crowd turned "downright nasty." One observer said "If he had been out there a minute longer, I think somebody would have shot him."

 

Cohen and his film crew were escorted out of the Salem Civic Center and told to leave the premises.

 

"Had we not gotten them out of there, there would have been a riot," rodeo producer Bobby Rowe told the paper. "They loaded up the van and they screeched out of there."

 

It is not the first time Cohen has wooed controversy with his show, which airs on Channel 4 in the UK and on HBO in the United States. In one episode last year, Borat sang an anti-Semitic song called "Throw the Jew Down the Well" at a U.S. country music bar, prompting protests from the U.S-based Anti-Defamation League.

 

Producers of the Ali G show, Talkback Thames, were unavailable for comment.

actually, I got more to say. You know, someone from another country just tried to make a mockery of your country and your intelligence. Is that really funny? If you ask me then Fuck No. Hey, if you voted for kerry, thats great, more power to you, it was prolly the better choice. If you voted for bush, thats just as great, (and just as terrible as kerry at the same time) you made the choice you felt at the time, and who knows, he could surprise us all. But Fuck, come on, someone just made a joke out of the place you live, and if you compared it to other places you'd be proud to live here. America is a strange, twisted place these days, but if you take the time to look at it, it could be a fuck of a lot worse. And its a fucking beautiful place to be, and compared to most a happy one. Why in the Fuck, would you think its great for some euro-trash metro latte celebrity fuck insult you in such a shameless manner. It seems real fucking pathetic and upsetting to me to have that stance. (now don't get me wrong, I like the democratic party, I agree with them on most everything, I like Michael Moore, and I feel like we are cheated a lot by our system, And I don't consider myself a redneck fuck, You can get a great education in Virginia, we got the best colleges in the country and I'm proud to be a part of one.) But Jesus Christ, this shit almost brings a tear to my eye. Why is it cool for some asshole to publicly and outlandishly insult the place you live, and the people who ultimately represent you? I say fuck this guy, I don't give a fuck if he gets a few cheap laughs on HBO. Is that shit more important than your integrity. It really hurts to see that a lot of people put more trust in some prick they paid an extra $20 a month to see on cable tv, then they put in themselves. Fuck.

This is the shit some of you prolly think you preach about.

 

Roanoke is a dope city too, and doesn't deserve to be insulted in this way.

 

god damn, I'm fucking done
