So it looks like Borat is out having some fun.

In Fort Smith, the city's convention center hosted "Blue Collar Brawlin'" the next night. Fort Smith police Sgt. Adam Holland said 18 off-duty police officers provided security at the event.
During preparations, Holland said organizers told him a character named "Straight Dave" would goad a planted audience member into the ring for a fight. The two men would then wrestle, rip away some of their clothes and share a brief kiss reminiscent of one between Baron Cohen and Will Ferrell in the film "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby."
Producers said "there would be a romantic embrace," Holland said. "They said it was kind of to essentially make fun, poke fun at wrestling - two guys rolling around on the floor, all sweaty."
Instead, an elaborate array of mounted and handheld videocameras caught the crowd of 1,600's reaction as the two men "went right up to the line" of the city's morality laws, Holland said. The two men stripped down to their underwear, kissed and rubbed on each other, the sergeant said.
The audience, as well as local fighters drawn to take part in the show, became enraged.
"It set the crowd off lobbing beers," Holland said. "They had beers in plastic cups. Those things can get some distance on them actually."
Holland said it took officers about 45 minutes to clear the convention center, as the two actors sprinted away through a specially set-aside tunnel.

Story goes on to say that they think the whole thing was for a new Sacha Baron Cohen movie.

Awesome. Totally awesome.
 
Trailer is out, is NC-17, and is hilarous:

He also literally tries to make out with Ron Paul, in case you haven't heard.

The Bruno character, IMO, is the weakest of the three SBC personas but I'll likely check this out just to see if it lives up to the Borat movie.
