Arkansas Fight Fans Angered Over Caged Male Combatant Kissing

[WillParkinson]

(Little Rock, Arkansas) Crowds in Arkansas came for the lure of cage fighting and $1 beer, but police say what they got instead was men ripping each others' clothes off and kissing - a stunt suspected of being orchestrated by Sacha Baron Cohen of "Borat" fame.

"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.

1. That is wildy funny.

If you have ever watched a mixed martial arts fight, once they get down on the ground the difference between the basic grappling position and having sex is the lack of actual penetration.

3. its crap like this the leads to real gay men getting beat up in the real world nt

5. yeah like when black men kiss white women?

[wtmusic]

6. How do you know they weren't "real gay men"?

IMO the exposure is a good thing. Most of these clowns probably never saw two men kiss.

The sky didn't fall.

people in the real world who are not actors or playing in an artificial environment for entertainment purposes

14. yeah, by the same token, whenever one of those adult pranksters puts dog

doo in a bag, sets it afire, puts it on my porch and rings my doorbell, I have to go out the next weekend and beat up a couple 10-year-olds!!

relax, the assholes in the crowd were already assholes to begin with, and every one else I'm sure got a laugh out of it.

Oh, you gotta love SBC and the ignorant red staters.

I don't have big hopes for his Bruno movie, because I think that was the weakest of the three characters, but this scene alone sounds amazing.
