The unsuspecting audience who turned up for the Blue Collar Brawlin' event, lured by the promise of $1 beer, expected a night of old fashioned fisticuffs.

What they got was two men stripping down to their underwear, kissing and "rubbing one another", according to local police.

The men - believed to be actors - were then forced to run for their lives as the 1,600-strong crowd pelted them with beer and chairs.

Posters for Blue Collar Brawlin' promised: "Hot Chicks, Cold Beer, Hardcore Fights" and were accompanied by pictures of a scantily clad woman.

Organisers of the event had invited police to attend and tipped them off that a character named "Straight Dave" would goad a planted audience member into the ring for a fight, only to end up in a "romantic embrace" similar to the one between Baron Cohen and Will Ferrell in the film Talladega Nights.

FORT SMITH - The King of Cringe has struck again in Arkansas.

British comedian and filmmaker Sacha Baron Cohen has made a career of putting people in uncomfortable situations, then turning their reactions into comedy gold. Several sketches from his "Da Ali G Show" have involved unsuspecting Arkansans, including former Governor Mike Huckabee.

Goodsen says Cohen had been leading the audience in several off-color songs several times; towards the end, he challenged any gay person in the audience to a fight. Goodsen says a planted actor in the audience went into the ring with Cohen, and started fighting him.

"They started beating each other to death, I mean really hitting each other," he says. "Then they just started... making out, tearing each others clothes off. That's when I realized why I'd been brought there, because the crowd went crazy."

What Borat did next
Homophobes, beware: Sacha Baron Cohen is back - this time equipped with leather, studs and an Austrian accent

The clue, you see, was hidden in the title: 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.

So what exactly has Bruno been up to? Huffington spotted that California's governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, narrowly escaped a Bruno prank thanks to an SUV and "a few bodyguards".

Now the Dallas Morning News is reporting that a crowd of 1,600 unsuspecting wrestling fans lured to a "cage-fighting" event in Arkansas were less lucky.

And there's more. A few days ago, a Yossi Alpher, a former Israeli spy, wrote a column about an interview with "a tall, blondish man in his thirties, dressed in leather and studs, his face heavily powdered, his arms and chest shaven".

Alpher, who was told he was contributing to a film alongside a Palestinian academic explaining the Middle East conflict to young people, said the interviewer had confused "Hamas" with "hummus" and concluded: "Your conflict is not so bad. Jennifer-Angelina is worse."

2. Baron Cohen is a genius

he can manipulate an audience better than anyone I've seen. I think he's even better than Andy Kaufman, then again he was a bit before my time so I never had the chance to see him do something in real time like Baron Cohen has.
