Ali G star escapes 'lynching' over hoax
Sasha Baron Cohen (aka Ali G) has been escorted from an American rodeo after infuriating a crowd by claiming that President Bush drinks blood and singing a mangled version of the American national anthem.
Cohen, posing as his Kazakhstani journalist character Borat, convinced rodeo organisers in Salem, Virginia, that he was filming a documentary about America.
He told them he supported the war on terrorism and said: "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."
Then he asked if he could show his appreciation by singing the Star Spangled Banner. His version ended with the words "your home is the grave".
"If he had been out there a minute longer, I think someone would have shot him," said local Robynn Jaymes.
