How does the Mountain Home newspaper get all these stories occuring in distant parts of the state?

LR papers miss it regularly.

ohpleaseohpleaseohplease be true! Please make it to the final film! ha ha ha ha.

What a joker! Wonder what's planned for Mississippi?

That's not Borat.. it's DBI in a mankini! /s

"Blue Collar Brawlin'" is nothing I'd be attending...I can get that at home sittin in my boxers. Keep in mind that this is the same building where I saw Win Rockefeller and Spiro Agnew together in 1970.

Knowing what we know now, it's possible last month wasn't the first time 2 men have stripped down to their undies and gone to rolling around and kissing on each other at that location in Fort Baptist. Isn't life strange?

I'm with mag, above. Please let it be true!

If Sacha Baron Cohen (that's his name) keeps evolving, he could become to comedy what George Carlin was.

Cohen's operating at a whole new level. Amazing!

Me too! I want to see it--if not on the big screen then at least on YouChoob.

And, yes, The Baxter Bulletin rocks.

Baron Cohen (who was great in Sweeney Todd, BTW) is filming his Bruno flick [click on blue name]

Wasn't the Baxter Bulletin the victim of some mischief fairly recently? Its editor in trouble, maybe? Can't exactly recall.

Very nice.

Very nice.

They should have become inraged... damn bastards that'll do that should be in jail for a long time.

SEXY TIME!!!!

SEXY TIME!!!!

What's going unsaid here is that somebody took just enough cash to let the show go on for just enough to fire up the sort of people that would be dispappointed when a cage match ends in an embrace. No actual riot and no actual harm except theatrics if you discount the sort of dumbshit with priorities lke ths.

Finding the lowsest common denominator is fairly easy. Heads up! but fear the ebb and flow of white patriarchal solutions .
yo ho?

Now hold it just a danged minute, Meet John Doe. As it happens I take the PB Commerical and I didn't see it the first time and I didn't see it the second time I looked just now (through last Thursday). Are you and I getting the same paper?
And Chasv -- my, my, language . . .

Language.....if only chasv knew how to spell it.

Doigotta,

I said posted not printed. I assume we have the same internets. ;-)

funny stuff.....

re Baxter Bulletin: not sure about recently, but they got into a WHOLE lotta trouble with the drug warriors when they did extensive research and reported that an Mj growing "raid" up there cost us about $10,000/lb - now THAT'S some expensive smoke for law "enforcement!!!"

How humiliating for Arkansas.

"It set the crowd off lobbing beers," Holland said. "They had beers in plastic cups. Those things can get some distance on them actually."

Best. Quote. Ever.

Sasha Cohen at George Carlin's level. What an insult to his memory. Cohen operates out of deceit and minipulation.

dbi,, you've made errors in your spelling at times so it don't bother me as long as you get the message.
English is the most confused language in the world. I heard.
Wake up you heathen...

It's not only disgusting just to Arkansas but for all of the human race.

Poor English. I hope the language manages to get things cleared up soon.

I hope this makes it to the film as well. Should be a hoot!

FARK has a thread on this. Best comment was about staging this in Arkansas, was like "picking the low hanging fruit".

Here's another near riot of some low hanging fruit, from the Times' Rock Candy blog:

Young Buck / Lil Boosie
July 3, Statehouse Convention Center

It's not everyday that a national recording act comes to Little Rock, let alone two well-known rappers. Then again, it's not everyday that police break up a near-riot show at the Statehouse Convention Center. Yep, Lil' Boosie and Young Buck came to town.

I went into the Governor's Hall with high hopes for some quality, mainstream rap music. What I got was a marathon of local artists (607 outshined all of them with originality) who took large chunks of the crowd on stage to aide their performance of slurred, repetitive rap and a blazed Young Buck talking over his own songs. It wasn't a night for the music itself, but rather one for observing the ignorance and impatience of local concertgoers and that mainstream rappers suck live.

You could see the trouble coming. A chest-high metal fence lined about 75 feet around the stage to make room for an exclusive, $40 a person VIP area. With a $30 door tag, anything more is pushing already loyal patrons. Shouldn't Southern rappers treat those in the South like their own kind and cut 'em a deal? Apparently not.
With the view of the stage sub par, the common folk behind the VIP line grew restless. I heard a shout of "Put anybody but these local mutha f***as on stage." Which is exactly the kind of anyone-but-our-own attitude that makes it harder for local rappers to reach the national stage. It took every ounce of me to not go off on the holler. A little while later, with the ignorance and an hour of ass shaking contests behind me, Young Buck stumbled on stage with his posse.

This is where things got interesting. The special bastards in VIP started standing on the tables, blocking the view of my common folk and me. The common folk had had enough and pushed the fence all the way up to the VIP tables and then knocked the fence down, resulting in a "28 Days Later"-style zombie run as nearly a thousand bodies jumped the fence to stand on tables in an area designed for 100 people. My view was completely ruined at this point and my frustration had reached full capacity. Not only was it a terrible performance, but I couldn't see the terrible performance. I waited around hoping for a miracle of hard-hitting Southern rap, but it never came.

After Buck's set the rowdy crowd awaited the arrival of Boosie. I couldn't believe that people would stand around on wobbly tables for more trashy music. It became obvious the crowd had reached its threshold when I saw a chair go up in the air and then slam down into the crowd again. People rushed in to witness the brawl seconds before police came in with a pepper spray bomb that had the crowd running faster than Smarty Jones. The chemicals spread fast and the show was canceled. The police saved Little Rock from mediocre rap. Amazing.

This was the first hip hop show that I left in tears and it made for a memorable one. I am still disgruntled over my money but hey, it made for a hell of a story.

Um, why is there another guy posting under my name "JD"....

sounds to me this was a query thing that was conceived in a queers mind from the get go.
The real problem was the people realized what was going on and hated the whole damn thing.
Queers are the worlds biggest exhibitionist who loves to show off their asses in public places.

Yikes. chasv needs to have someone proofread his comments. Looks like a 'tard wrote that, after lots of cough syrup. No offense bud.

Hilarious, I picture the Blues Brothers in their cage at the bar.. beers flying at them, bottles breaking. Except it's local bubba's and knuckle draggers confused and angry, yet strangely aroused at the site they are witnessing. You know there had to be a few closet guys in there, thinking... man, this turned out to be worth the 5 bucks, and I thought I was just gonna get to see some bare chests tonight. Arkansas - you guys make me proud.
