Subject: RE: BS: Borat film exploits Romanian gypsies
I guess this guy didn't find Mr.Cohen funny:
Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, the star 'Borat: Cultural Learnings of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan', got a nasty beating when tried to pull a fast one on a passer-by in New York.
"I like your clothings. Are nice! Please may I buying? I want have sex with it," Cohen said to the bewildered man, who landed a blow on the 35-year-old comedian. As Cohen shouted for help, the man punched him several times, before the funnyman's friend actor Hugh Laurie came running to his aid.
"Sacha couldn't resist playing the fool as Borat, but picked on the wrong person. I guess this guy thought he was being attacked by someone unstable and lashed out. Sacha is very lucky he didn't get a much worse beating," Laurie said. Though Cohen has been warned against taking his big screen character Borat to the streets, he couldn't resist this chance to do what he did to several Americans featured in the film.
