Bruno Goes To The Middle East

bruno1 Sasha Baron Cohen is at it again with Bruno. Cohan/Bruno tricked Yossi Alpher, a former Israeli spy and Palestinian academic Ghassam Khalib into appearing in the film which they thought was a serious documentary on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. At one point, Bruno compared the Middle East conflict to the battle between Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie over Brad Pitt, saying: ‘Your conflict is not so bad.’ He also said:

“What’s the connection between a political movement and food. Why hummus?” Cohen asked, later adding: “Yesterday I threw away my pitta bread because it was dripping hummus. And it’s too high in carbohydrates.”

It was too late to pull out because the two had already signed release forms and received payment for the interview. The way things are going Bruno could end up being just a great as Borat…maybe even better! So far there has been talk of Ben Affleck being interviewed by Cohen in character, along with Arnold Schwarzenegger. There was also an incident in the lobby of Wichita Kansas Airport, where Bruno and his friend were caught stripping down to tight shorts.

    Oh how they become Americanised when there is a lawsuit on the horizon. Gee wiz sorry you became the butt of this idiots joke, but if you couldn’t see through this nonsense … and your 15 minutes of fame…shame on you. Typical mid east bull carp. Maybe it’s time we invoke an american indian saying about bodies of water seperating two different civilizations…you fish on your side, I’ll fish on my side, and nobody fishes in the middle! Keep your sand…keep your oil…and most of all keep your F’in opion to yourself!
