Borat in Bama


I haven't watched any of his movies, but I still know who 'Borat' is.

Sascha Baren Cohen tricked the Alabama National Guard into admitting him to their training session and giving him a uniform on the premise of making a German documentary. During training, another cadet recognized him and alerted authorities.

"The ruse, which included comedian Sacha Baron Cohen exposing his thong underwear while changing clothes, was going well until a young cadet recognized Cohen and notified older officers who weren't familiar with the actor.

" 'It's an embarrassment to the Alabama National Guard,' Staff Sgt. Katrina Timmons said Monday. 'Since then we have put in protocols to make sure this doesn't happen again.'"

(Um, duh!)
