QuoteCohen Prank Offends US Aristocrats

Ali G star Sacha Baron Cohen is under fire for playing a trick on an aristocratic family in America's Deep South, after they failed to see the funny side of his latest race-inspired prank. The British comic, posing as his documentary-maker alter ego Borat Sagdiyev, descended on the impressive home of George Matthews Marshall IV, 75, who believed Cohen was making a film about life in America's southern states. But Marshall and his daughter Heather were horrified when Cohen started implying they were racists. Marshall tells website PageSix.com, "Our understanding was that we were going to have a documentary 'supper' in which they would be learning about the South. We signed a release because we were trusting. Our ancestors have been in this house for 152 years. In that time, we've never had anyone try to deceive us. This turned out to be the first unpleasant episode we have experienced since the (nineteenth century) Civil War. They tried to get us to say we approved of slavery. I was, of course, aghast." Matters spiraled further out of control when the cheeky funnyman introduced a raunchy extra character into the situation. Heather recalls, "Cohen attempted to shock (us) by introducing a black woman who pretended to be a prostitute. She kissed and groped him at the dining table." Marshall adds with disgust, "She was a huge woman, grotesquely dressed." And once the furious family realized they had been tricked, they threw Cohen and his crew out, who "stayed on the property and banged on the door, screaming, 'I do not understand your customs!'" Cohen's publicist Matt Labov says, "I have to give a boring old, 'No comment.'"
"Oh, yeah. They'll still boo. They have to. They're born to boo. Just now, they'll only boo with two Os instead of like four." - Larry Andersen

According to a writer for the show, there is no season 3 of Ali G. The show is done. Cohen is working on a Borat movie, though.

I hope this is something the writers made up so they could fly under the radar and continue making episodes. Doubt it.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Good to see he's using the SNL theory of taking a popular character and making a movie that's an hour and 25 minutes too long...

If anyone can do it, it's Cohen. He would be writing it, and he's actually funny, unlike the idiots Michaels hires to write Superstar and It's Pat.
