Rodeo in Salem gets unexpected song rendition



A man purportedly from Kazakhstan launched into a diatribe instead of "The Star-Spangled Banner."


No one knows for sure who he was, that Middle Eastern man in an American flag shirt and a cowboy hat who was supposed to sing the national anthem at a rodeo Friday night in the Salem Civic Center.
But he sure shook up this town before leaving in a hurry.

Introduced as Boraq Sagdiyev from Kazakhstan, he was said to be an immigrant touring America. A film crew was with him, doing some sort of documentary. And he wanted to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" to show his appreciation, the announcer told the crowd.

Speaking in broken English, the mysterious man first told the decidedly pro-American crowd - it was a rodeo, of all things, in Salem, of all places - that he supported the war on terrorism.

"I hope you kill every man, woman and child in Iraq, down to the lizards," he said, according to Brett Sharp of Star Country WSLC, who was also on stage that night as a media sponsor of the rodeo.
An uneasy murmur ran through the crowd.

"And may George W. Bush drink the blood of every man, woman and child in Iraq," he continued, according to Robynn Jaymes, who co-hosts a morning radio show with Sharp and was also among the stunned observers.

The crowd's reaction was loud enough for John Saunders, the civic center's assistant director, to hear from the front office. "It was a restless kind of booing," Saunders said.

Then the man took off his hat and sang what he said was his native national anthem. 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," Sharp said.

By then, a restless crowd had turned downright nasty.
"If he had been out there a minute longer, I think somebody would have shot him," Jaymes said. "People were booing him, flipping him off."

Rodeo producer Bobby Rowe, who by then had figured out that he was the victim of some kind of hoax, had the man escorted out of the civic center. Rowe told him that he and his film friends had best leave right then.

"Had we not gotten them out of there, there would have been a riot," said Rowe, who has been bringing his Imperial Rodeo Productions to Salem for years.

As his wife, Lenore, put it: "It's a wonder one of these cowboys didn't go out there and rope him up."

Saunders agreed. "I was concerned for his personal safety," he said.
Once the film crew members and their star realized the severity of the situation, Bobby Rowe said, "they loaded up the van and they screeched out of there."

After apologizing to the crowd for being duped, Rowe was left to wonder who pulled such a hoax, and why. Months ago, he was approached by someone from One America, a California-based film company that was reportedly doing a documentary on a Russian immigrant, Rowe said.

The outfit asked if Sagdiyev could sing the national anthem at the rodeo in Salem. After listening to a tape, Rowe said sure.
By Saturday afternoon, Jaymes had observed that Sagdiyev looked a lot like the title character of "Da Ali G Show," a Home Box Office production that often catches its guests and audiences unaware and then records their reaction to "shock value" material such as Friday night's performance.

The show has a character named Borat from Kazakhstan, according to the HBO Web site.

Jaymes said she recalls that one of the five cameras was turned on her and others on stage, as if to catch their reactions.
"I looked at Brett and said, 'Why do I feel like I'm in the middle of a bad "Saturday Night Live" episode?'" Jaymes said.

As Rowe prepared Saturday for a second night of the rodeo, he was playing it safe on who would sing the national anthem.
"It'll be a tape," he said.


___ Dude has balls doesnt he? heh.

[Ultra Peanut]

"How did you feel when you drew this?"
"Very proud!"
"I am just listening with sadness for your people."
"No, it is not sad. It is us that do the kill!"

That's fuggin hilarious. Who is this dude?

[Baby Lee]

That's fuggin hilarious. Who is this dude?
His real name is Sasha Cohen, known most popularly by his Ali G character. He has three main characters, Ali G, a british wigger, Borat, a Kazakhstani, and the gay fashion designer dude.
He goes into settings in character and says outrageous things with people unaware he is anything but what he says he is. Known for getting interviews with big names, such as 'Pahrick Boo-canahn,' 'Christie Toad Whi-mahn.'

Ali G is the bad boy rapper straight outta Staines in the UK, near Windsor, where the queen lives. He may live with his Nana in the suburbs and has spent more time in Drive thru's than in Drive by's, but he intends to change the world. Already the UK's number one comedy phenomenon Ali G brings his unique style of interviewing to HBO. Talking to the great and the good about the issues that really matter Ali is the only interviewer prepared to ask the really difficult questions like "what was it like to walk on the sun?" to Buzz Aldrin or asking the ex head of the FBI to cast his mind back to the grassy knoll and ask "who really shot JR?".

Borat Sagdiyev is Kazakhstan's sixth most famous man. A leading journalist from the State run TV network, Borat has been sent to the United States to report on all aspects of American life. From baseball to Broadway, Borat asks the questions no westerner would dream of in his tireless quest for knowledge, telling dating agencies he will 'crush' women who are unfaithful, touching the penises of Vietnam veterans in Atlanta, urinating on trees with new age gurus in Sedona. Borat on his first ever trip abroad presents a picture of America that only Charles Manson would recognize.

Camp, vain and self obsessed, Bruno is the voice of Austrian youth TV. At home in the world of air kisses and air heads with his 'faux hawk' and g string, Bruno trumps the most vacuous, sycophantic and intellectually redundant fashionistas with his inanity and superciliousness. Patrolling the catwalks and after show parties of New York Fashion week and taking the fashion pulse of America, Bruno seeks out his prey like as if it was a bargain at a Barney's sale.

[teedubya]

ChiTown... he is my inspiration.

[Ultra Peanut]

I loved it when he called her "Christie an' Todd Whitman." The rap she did at the end was hilarious, too. Andy Rooney was his ****ing crowning achievement though.

The Bruno segment with the college wrestlers was great.

"And now say hallo to everyone on Austria Gay TV!"
"WHAT?!"
[college wrestler tard pulls mic cover off mic]
"Austria Gay TV! Say hello to all the gay peoples in Austria!"
"This isn't ****ing gay TV. There's no ****ing gay TV."
"No, no. This is a gay show."

I honestly thought they were about to jump his ass.

Or the intro piece at the beginning with the big crowd of college-aged dudes behind him.

Bruno: Okay, everybody. I'll do the intro, and then I'll raise my arm and all of you will yell.
Bruno: HALLO, I am in Daytona Beach, where all of the good-looking guys come to be GAY!
[chubby dude to Bruno's right immediately turns face away from the camera; smattering of yells/bemused muttering ensues for a couple of seconds; crowd begins to disperse]
Confused Guy: You mean 'gay' like 'happy,' right?
Bruno: No, I mean anal sex.

The Bruno segment with the college wrestlers was great.
That may have my favorite moment ever on the show. They were on the beach and didn't know Bruno was gay yet. He talked them into showing him some wrestling moves, and as they are grappling, he seems to lose composure and tries very awkwardly to kiss the dude on the butt.

yeah, that was classic... he gets them all to moon the camera... then mentions Gay TV.

My personal favorite is when he is interviewing the womens rights foundation lady, and asks all these insulting questions dogging on women... oh man. She was so offended.

"So, do you think a woman should have any job?" "So like if a woman was flying your plane, would you feel safe?" She gets so pissed.

The Andy Rooney one was unreal, he didnt get it at all.

So funny.

If you havent checked it out yet... do yourself a favor.

[ChiTown]

Thanks, Baby Lee

I don't have HBO. Is that the only cable medium he's on?

[teedubya]

he is also on Kazaa.

[Baby Lee]

Thanks, Baby Lee

I don't have HBO. Is that the only cable medium he's on?
He started out in GB. Don't know if they've ever had him on the BBC. But yeah, here in America, he's on HBO. But HBO has released his first season on DVD.

[Ultra Peanut]

You can also get it on Netflix.

[Brock]

Very classless of him.

[Ultra Peanut]

I agree completely.

If by "classless," you mean "funny."

[Iowanian]

He is seriously lucky he didn't get his ass beat, doing that at a rodeo.

Borat is great. "How do I get in girls..virgin?"
"No jews..."
That dating service bit was the best.

IIRC this is not the first time he has done this.

[Pitt Gorilla]

[Brock]

They should invite him to Arrowhead. It would be a big plus if the game fell on veteran's day. That would rock.

[Saulbadguy]

It would ruin the home of the CHIEFS. I definately wouldn't want that.

[Iowanian]

Rodeo people are violent, humorless types?!?

I can see where a majority of those in attendance wouldn't be too cool, or think it was too funny to make a mockery of the national anthem. Most will remind those that don't, to remove cover. Its a pretty patriotic crowd.


I'm all for humor, and I think some of the stuff ali says is funny....some of it. But not this time.

[KC Kings]

Ali G sucks ass. The Borat stuff that I've caught is funny, but I can't stand to sit through a whole Ali G show for it.

His humor is different, and I don't like Monty Python, Absolutly Fabulous, or any of those other UK comedy shows, or 75% of the shows on Comedy Central.

I find Ali G hilarious.
"Were there a lot of animals in Vietnam? Every time you hear a veternarian talking, they are talking about the war."

The best one was when he was doing door to door campaigning for a local politician, and he was trying to get the residents to reach down and feel the guys package because in his country, a big penis meant you were a good politician. He never got anybody to cop a feel, but he did convince one guy to let him take a dump in his house.

He did a show at a rodeo where he was the gay guy, and he had this cowboy about ready to beat his azz. He kept asking him when he was going to come out of the closet, because they could smell their own, and it was obvious that this cowboy was gay. That was the only time that I could tell he was nervous about getting injured for taking it too far.

[Pants]

It's effing hilarious, I have Season 1 on DVD. I love how the older elite he interviews actually believe a guy like that could exist. Just shows their opinions of the younger generation. Newt Gingrich interview was classic. His new movie is OK too, not as funny as the show, though.

Respek, big up.

P.S. I've already posted this some time ago, but this shit is just hilarious. He went to Harvard and gave a commencment speech. Here's the link:

No kidding, they should have let funny guy hang out, and tell some more jokes. He got lucky sometimes rednecks and cowboys like to make people laugh to, you know like tie some smartass to a pole and let a calf milk him.

[Pitt Gorilla]

good thing it wasn't a gay rodeo all hell would have broke looseThere are straight rodeos?!?

[RNR]

There are straight rodeos?!?
ROFL Yeah most of them!
