Vegetarian Star

What do you get when you combine Borat‘s Sasha Baron Cohen as a Middle Eastern dictator with a vegan, co-op grocery store owner?

One would hope a completely organic produce section where anything genetically modified would be zapped by super military powers.

But in the case of a new film titled The Dictator, you only get actress Anna Faris as the “ultra-liberal vegan grocery store owner who inadvertently rescues a Saddam Hussein-esque tyrant”

Plus, a few good jokes about educated women looking like monkeys on roller skates.

Watch a clip below to see how disappointed Cohen’s character is to learn to organic store doesn’t sell any assault rifles.

Sasha Baron Cohen’s Bruno features a scene where the old standby vegetarian dish of hummus and pita becomes part of a joke.

Bruno interviews Yossi Alpher, a former Israeli Mossad officer, and Ghassan Khatib, a former Palestinian Cabinet minister during his visit to what he calls, “Middle Earth,” that is intended to make peace.

“Why are you so anti-Hamas?” Bruno asks. “I mean, isn’t pita bread the real enemy here?”

“You think there is a relation between Hamas and Hummus?” Khatib asks.

“Hummus has nothing to do with Hamas,” Alpher responds “It’s a food. We eat it, they eat it.”

“It’s vegetarian, it’s healthy, it’s beans,” Khatib says.

While the vegetarian scene may be humorous, other antics Bruno does in the Middle East, or “Middle Earth,” has already launched a lawsuit from a former member of a militant group who alleges one of Bruno’s jokes about terrorists activity could land him in hot water by both Palestinians and Israeli’s.
