Trouble at the Top in Borat

Cohen is no stranger to controversy

The show involves Cohen going to cover various events as a Kazakhstan reporter his outrageous views and the fact most of the participant think no- one will see it make for some interesting viewing.Last week Cohen character in the show was invited to sing the American national anthem at a rodeo event in the US. He started by telling the assembled crowd "I hope you kill every man, woman and child in Iraq, down to the lizards ... And may George W. Bush drink the blood of every man, woman and child in Iraq." Cohen then launched into a bizarre version of the song. Needless to say the audience were not amused.The local paper in Roanoke (where the rodeo took place) reported that the audience turned "downright nasty" and that they thought Cohen was lucky nobody shot him!Borat and his crew had escorted out of the building and were asked not to return.It now seems that Todd Phillips could not take anymore and has dropped out of the production.Variety reports the filmmakers are now keen to hire a new director and continue shooting as soon as possible.
