Its Dethklok!
From the news-
Sacha Baron Cohen is at it again.
The comedian and filmmaker who duped legions of Americans into doing stupid things for the film "Borat" is making another movie, and once again apparently tricking and ticking off people.
His latest reported stunt came in Arkansas, where scores of folks turned out to two events billed as a night of cheap beer, hot chicks and men's cage fighting. But, says an Associated Press report, when the caged men starting fighting, they suddenly ripped each other's clothes off and began kissing.
"We had a contract for cage fighting. We were deceived," said Dwight Duncan, president and CEO of Four States Fair Grounds in Texarkana, Ark., where the first of two Arkansas fights raised suspicions last month.
The day after the June 5 Texarkana bout, Fort Smith, Ark.'s convention center hosted "Blue Collar Brawlin.'" Fort Smith police Sgt. Adam Holland said organizers told him a character named "Straight Dave" would goad a planted audience member into the ring for a fight. Instead, an elaborate array of mounted and handheld video cameras caught the reaction of the crowd of 1,600 as the two wrestlers "went right up to the line" of the city's morality laws, Holland said. The two men stripped down to their underwear, kissed and rubbed on each other, the sergeant said.
People in the audience were not amused.
"It set the crowd off lobbing beers," Holland said. "They had beers in plastic cups. Those things can get some distance on them actually."
Holland said it took officers about 45 minutes to clear the convention center, as the two actors sprinted away through a specially set-aside tunnel.
Matt Labov, a Los Angeles-based publicist for Baron Cohen, said he had no comment Monday about the faked fights. One of Baron Cohen's movies is due out next year.
Baron Cohen became a national celebrity after his 2006 hit movie "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan," in which he played a bumbling reporter from the Central Asia nation. The new film is reportedly titled "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." Bruno is the gay Austrian fashion reporter Cohen developed for "Da Ali G Show." The film is said to be due out next year.
