First Borat, now Bruno...

How many people are going to file stupid lawsuits against this guy? Let me bring you up to speed here: Sacha Baron Cohen, the British comedian who is the man behind "Borat", King Julien from "Madagascar", the "rapper" Ali G, the other barber Pirelli in "Sweeney Todd", and the gay French racer Jean Girard in "Talledega Nights", is about to release a new film with a new character- Bruno, a gay Austrian "fashionista". Just like with Borat, Cohen and his camera crew went all over America, filming a "documentary" about how Americans deal with Bruno's stunts. Now, according to the Associate Press, Cohen is being sued by a woman who says she is disabled because of Cohen's use of profanity at a charity bingo game. I know, who knew bingo was so rough, right? Richelle Olson says when "Bruno" started using profanity in front of the mostly-elderly bingo crowd while calling the second game, she tried to grab the mike away from him, and they struggled over it. Then his film crew "attacked" her for several minutes, to get a "dramatic emotional response". She then ran from the stage, and was found moments later by a co-worker, crying uncontrollably. And then, for no reason that was given anyway, she just... fell down and hit her head.
So let's recap- they struggle over the mike, she's fine. The crew "attacks" her, apparently only verbally, she's still fine. She runs off of the stage to a dark corner, still fine. Friend finds her bawlnig in said corner, STILL fine. Then, nowhere near Cohen, she falls down and hits her head on the concrete floor, and NOW she has "bleeding on her brain".
How the hell is this his fault? Even if you can say it's his fault she ran away, she didn't get hurt while running, she was standing still when she fell.
If she wins, I'm suing Bill Gates- all the time I spend hunched over a computer is because he invented Windows, and now I have spinal arthritis.
