DID A "BRUNO" STUNT GET OUT OF CONTROL IN ARKANSAS?

This comes from the U.S.. Seems like a brawl broke lose after a fake "Cage Fight" was put on and in the middle of the fight the two men involved stripped down and started to passionately kiss. Seems that Arkansas cannot handle two men kissing, especially those who paid $1 for beer and wanted to watch only two men fight brutally. HA HA HA..

This brought some speculation that this could be a stunt for the new Sacha Baron Cohen movie about a gay Austrian reporter "Bruno":

"We had a contract for cage fighting. We were deceived," said Dwight Duncan, president and CEO of Four States Fair Grounds in Texarkana, where the first of two Arkansas fights raised suspicions last month.

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.

An elaborate array of mounted and handheld video cameras caught the crowd of 1,600's reaction as the two men "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.

...The audience, as well as local fighters drawn to take part in the show, became enraged. "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.

Those in attendance were told by several signs on display that they'd be filmed, Holland said, and signed waivers before the event. Convention center sales director Karin Hobbs declined to name the event's sponsor Monday. [SOURCE]

HA HA HA HA.. Oh my.. I can't wait for this movie. I can totally see it showing how some of those narrow minded folk think... Too Funny... Lets hope it makes the cut for the movie, if it is really indeed for the movie "Bruno".
