On June 6, 2008, a riot ensued at a stunt orchestrated by Baron Cohen and the producers of the film as they staged a “Blue Collar Brawlin’” in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Patrons were lured to an event billed as cage fighting, held at a Convention Center, by print and Craigslist advertisements, promoting “hot girls”, $1 beer and $5 admission. Approximately 1500 people attended the event, and were greeted by signs that informed them that they were being filmed. No cell phones, video, or cameras were allowed inside. Instead of hot girls and cage fighting, the acts taking place became homosexual in nature, and people threw chairs and beer at the performers. The performers were Brüno (Baron Cohen) under the ironic gimmick, “Straight Dave” and an unknown actor portraying his opponent.
