Sascha Baron Cohen in Kansas?

Sascha Baron Cohen is apparently fucking with the people of Kansas… A mysterious film crew from “Europe” has caused commotions in both Topeka and Wichita in the past week, leading even the conspicuously slow-witted Kansas media to assume that the “pranks” are part of the “Borat” star’s latest faux documentary.
Cohen had sold the rights to his “Da Ali G Show” character Bruno (a gay, Austrian TV Host) to Universal for a late October release. Info on whether “Bruno” would follow the “Borat” mold or be a more traditionally scripted film was not really known, until angry Kansas residents started complaining to their local papers that they were being harassed by “inappropriate” behavior from a “European Man” who had obtained permission to film in the state. That’s a check in the “unscripted” column.
First Bruno (let’s all just agree that this IS Cohen loose in Kansas and that he IS filming “Bruno”) visited the Wichita Airport where he stripped down before “kissing” and “fighting” and then got kicked out. Here’s the story.
Next, and best of all in my opinion, the VERY gay Bruno visited a local church where he danced in a “biblical” outfit including “chains” before being ejected by the pastor. Here’s the news from Kansas’ ABC affiliate. And, check it out; doesn’t that weatherman look like Jack Black on a bad hair day?
Sascha Baron Cohen chose Kansas wisely. If there is any state in the union that deserves to be fucked with… and hard… by a chain wearing, super-gay fake journalist it is Kansas. This is the state that brought us the “evolution is just a theory” school board ruling and the horror that is Senator Sam Brownback. Kansas residents may feel that they were “duped” by the film crew, but lighten up folks. You live in Kansas. Aren’t you used to being duped by now?
