Borat is beat up
I’m just wondering why it took this long?

BORAT star Sacha Baron Cohen was beaten up by a passer-by after he tried to play a prank as his alter ego.
He approached the man and said: “I like your clothings. Are nice! Please may I buying? I want have sex with it.”
But the bystander didn’t see the joke. He took one look at Cohen and punched him in the face.
The funnyman — known for his Borat catchphrase “Jagshemash!” — yelled for help but was slugged again and again.
He was rescued by actor pal Hugh Laurie who had been on his way to a New York bar with Cohen.
Laurie rushed to help and pushed the man away as Cohen struggled to his feet. A pal of Cohen said: “Sacha couldn’t resist playing the fool as Borat, but picked on the wrong person.
I haven’t seen Borat (the movie) yet but I’ve of course seen him all over TV and the ‘net (how could I not?) He’s funny, hysterical even- but seriously, how has he avoided getting smacked around this long?
The article says Cohen’s been warned not to be “Borat” out in public- guess he should’ve listened, huh?

Wow! Lots of posts to read! Glad you found your dining room set you’ve been looking for! I’m with you, can’t believe this is only the first time Borat has been beat up! Think it’ll make it into his next movie?
