Six People Bruno Duped Talk About Their Experiences

NY Post:

The Post talked to six people involved with the film -- including four victims duped into appearing -- to get their stories and figure out how, even after the massive success of "Borat," there are still people unfamiliar with Cohen's shtick. One didn't even know he was in the film until The Post phoned.

Victim: Dr. Paul Cameron, chairman of the Family Research Institute, Colorado
Scene: Bruno comes to him for advice on going straight.

"I did a German thing a year ago. Is that this? I wondered what had happened to that. I'm in this bloody film? Well, I'll be jiggered. I guess you never can believe when people are in distress.

Sacha or his PR people must have a lot of clout with this website as he gets good and frequent coverage here.

'... cringe-ent­ertainment­."

Indeed.

Deception with full intention to humiliate, then raking in millions off the victim's back is funny?

[ModernTimes1]

Yes.

[deepfreezevideo]

Not only YES, but damn funny YES.
I can't wait to cringe and guffaw at the same time.
I'm a little scared, but oh well it's Sascha Baron Cohen, you're SUPPOSED to be scared!

Can I come round with my camera crew then?

I'm making a documentary on a hamaas member who wants to join the israeli settler movement. Needs your considerable and valuable advice.

Scheisse! That was supposed to appear underneath Jesusland's comment, where it may have made some sense.

[SaulBloodworth]

if at all

Anyone who signs a release, stands in front of a camera and lighting crew, responds to provocatively ridiculous questions by a hairless, lisping drama queen and then responds "I'll be jiggered" deserves just that.

Okay, um, Pastor Trautwein is truly frightening. That people like him exist, and that he's saying the things he's saying with presumably an absolute straight face...it's creepy.

[Jesusland]

Newsflash. The vast majority of people on this planet agree with that creepy pastor.

[mairs]

Good thing you're talking up your.... :)

[sense11]

I like Cohen, he creates bold hilarious art, he gets people to say what they really feel. Like those white frat boys in Borat who could not help but be blatantly ignorant & racist in front of someone they thought was foreign. Tricking them is the only way to expose them.

Interesting that in the most 'conservative' part of the country (the law enforcement/jail scene) was the only one who got a heads up and kind of a clue, so someone in that part of the country is browsing around the so called 'unacceptable' parts of the culture/society.

[yellowdoggie]

Contrary to what some of you think, there are a few progressive people who are also up on popular culture and "unacceptable" society in every part of the country. We just keep our heads down.

As a reader who just clicked through the Johnny Depp "story" about watch fobs, I want to thank you, Huffpo for including a story that had words. To read.
