LONDON - 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 (North Carolina) 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, 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.”

15. What makes "hell" funny? The fact that so many are frightened of something

...that is very likely non-existant?

Beats me.

It's not the most disturbing incident like that he's ever caused in an American bar-type setting.

6. I love his show but know that he's known i wonder

how long he can keep it going. The fashion guy is hilarious and i love Borat..."Throw the jew down the well"

8. I loved it when he asked Newt Gingrich about Hillary Clinton...

Don't you think she'd make a bad President because she'd be shopping all the time? And won't WWIII happen when she's on the rag? haha

10. How about when he some fashion people on and he told them how to react?

"I want you to say that outfit is worse than 9/11" and then they did!!!

17. I would've sung it at my Bar Mitzvah had I known it

But that was a LONG Time ago
Those Rednecks in Arizona really got into singing that song

[StClone]

11. Too obscure

Why were they upset?

Because he sang a garbled Star Spangled Banner? Or, was it they were upset that they thought the war was bad and he seemingly glorified it? Or, did they pick up on the facetious tone of the "drink the blood" line? I thought they'd love that!

12. How about the one where Borat does wine tasting with the old klan types

I just watched it the other day...Borat goes to some southern "wine tasting club" and proceeds to party it up with two old klan types.

He eventually whips out pornograhpic photos of himself and his *sister* and the old men chuckle in appreciation.

The show is hysterical (in a sick ironic way!)

He certainly exposes the right wingers for what they are!

14. I've been wondering who Ali G is

Now I know. I've seen him before. I'll have to look more into him.
