Kissing gay ‘cage fighters’ angers Arkansas crowd [video]
”They said it was to essentially poke fun at wrestling – two guys rolling around on the floor, all sweaty…. It set the crowd off lobbing beers. They had beers in plastic cups. Those things can get some distance on them actually.”
Fort Smith police sergeant Adam Holland, commenting on an event held in Texarkana, AR, called ”Blue Collar Brawlin” that was to feature a ”cage fighting” event. Some 1,600 people are reported to have attended the event, but were angered when what they witnessed was two men ripping each others’ clothes off, fondling and kissing. Hidden-camera funnyman Sasha Baron Cohen is suspected to have been behind the filmed stunt, for his upcoming film, “Bruno,” that will likely follow the awkward, homophobia-inducing situations depicted on his TV show. He is also suspected of setting up a fake talk show involving a gay baby. (Telegraph.co.uk)
