There were no reports of naked men wrestling in front of the Western Wall or bizarre foreigners comparing Jews to cockroaches at Yad Vashem.

But, under a cloak of secrecy, Borat creator Sacha Baron Cohen, the comedian/actor better known as Borat, recently sneaked into the Middle East to film his next faux reality flick as Bruno, the gay Austrian television journalist. 

Just as he did for his wildly-successful Borat film, Cohen set up interviews with unsuspecting participants, including a former Mossad official who couldn't understand why the guy asking him questions didn't know the difference between Hamas and hummus.

"Vy don't you Jews and Arabs settle the conflict with a time-share on the land?" Bruno asked the former Mossad official. "Ven vill you Jews return the pyramids? Vy can't Jews and Hindus get along?"

The former official, Yossi Alpher of the political Web site Bitter Lemons, wrote about what was probably his strangest interview ever in a piece titled "Hamas vs. hummus: Guess who's loose in the Middle East?"

According to some reports, the film, set to premiere next spring, is tentatively titled: "Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt."

"Your conflict is not so bad," Bruno told Alpher. "Jennifer-Angelina is worse."

As most people know, the success of Cohen's comedy is his ability to ask inane questions of people who are too polite or clueless to realize they're in the middle of a grand gag.

One of my favorite Cohen bits (below) comes from his old UK TV show where, as his hip-hop persona Ali G., he interviewed former UN Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali.

In the interview, Ali G. refers to the elder statesman as a "geezer" and asks if Disneyland is a member of the United Nations.

Later, he asks a UN tour guide if Jordan is named after NBA star Michael Jordan and why the UN gives a vote to "crap countries" like Guinea.

For a little flavor of what the Bruno movie might look like, take a look at this piece from the UK show where Bruno goes to not-so-gay-friendly Alabama.
