Ali G comic Sacha Baron Cohen is being blamed for a hoax which enraged cowboys at a US rodeo.

<snip>

Speaking in broken English, the man 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."

He then told the crowd to be seated, put his hat back on, and launched into a butchered version of The Star-Spangled Banner that ended with the words "your home in the grave".

1. I wonder when they got mad

I hope it wasn't just the last bit, about changing the words to the anthem. The Bush drinking blood bit may have started to tip them off, though.

2. 'Rodeo Crowd Enrages the World.' - after all, turnabout is fair play.

This reminds me of Mark Twain's 'War Prayer' describing how a stranger wanders into a gung-ho flag-waving war rally and leads them in a prayer to God for suffering, poverty, starvation, torture, mutilation, and death.

The crowd is stunned because "obviously the stranger made no sense."

3. Sounds like they didn't have...

a problem with the "kill every man, woman and child in Iraq"
or the "Bush drink the blood" part but that the broken version
of the Star-Spangled Banner enraged them.
