Borat creator, Sacha Baron Cohen at it again…

From Dallasnews.com: Folks duped by ‘Borat’ creator Sacha Baron Cohen in Carrollton are really mad

Last week, at one of those big office parks on International Parkway, a whole bunch of people got really mad.

So mad, in fact, that dozens stormed out of a television taping – even though each had been paid $50 cash for agreeing to be an audience member of what promoters referred to vaguely as a new talk show.

The object of their anger? Well, that was the secret, and apparently few of them knew the identity of the character who got so deeply under their skin and wouldn’t let go. His name is Sacha Baron Cohen, who, when it comes to comedy, is a mastermind of ambush humor.

Sacha Baron Cohen is a genius at creating humor mostly with unexpected participants by exposing their racism, homophobia, and just plain ignorance.  This time Cohen is creating havoc not as Borat, but as Bruno, the gay Austrian fashion model from his Ali G show.  Cohen has an incredible ability to stay in character and improvise no matter how funny or awkward the situation gets.

I’m amazed that Cohen can still pull this off, even as a new character without people realizing what is going on.
