The New Yorker failed to see the joke and reportedly punched the 35-year-old comedian in the face.

Although the comedian shouted for help, the New Yorker punched him repeatedly before Cohen's friend, actor Hugh Laurie, came to the rescue.

Cohen did not receive any visible wounds, but was said to be seriously shaken up

I'm the guy who wrote the Grateful Dead song with the line "Too much of everything is just enough." It sounded good when I wrote it 20 years ago, but I don't believe it anymore: Too much of everything is too much. But it's tricky to find a balance between just enough and too much. The more you get, the less you feel that you have. The faster I go, the faster I feel that I need to go. When I was a rancher, there came a point every day when I had to stop working -- simply because my body couldn't keep going. Work in the information economy is different. We can hammer ourselves endlessly -- or so we think. We're living in an era of explosive abundance. The challenge is to manage our freedom and to strike a balance in the face of endless opportunity. I've realized that I must find the discipline to say "No" more often. It sounds easy, but it's not. Just when I've convinced myself that what I have is more than plenty, the phone rings, and someone offers me something that I can't resist. But then I ask an important question: How thin can I spread myself before I'm no longer "there"?

Of course the guy who wrote that thinks differently.

Borat was beaten up in New York after making what could be construed as a sexual advance at a passer-by.

Sacha Baron Cohen, in character up as the fictional Kazakh journalist he created, approached a man in the street and said: "I like your clothings. Are nice! Please may I buying? I want have sex with it."

The New Yorker failed to see the joke and reportedly punched the 35-year-old comedian in the face.

The scuffle took place after Cohen had appeared on 'Saturday Night Live', the popular US sketch show, to promote his new film, 'Borat: Cultural Learnings of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan', The Sun newspaper reported.

Although the comedian shouted for help, the New Yorker punched him repeatedly before Cohen's friend, actor Hugh Laurie, came to the rescue.

The 47-year-old 'House' star pushed the man away while Cohen got back onto his feet.

Laurie, also known for his role in 'Black Adder', had joined Cohen on 'Saturday Night Live'.

The actor friends had been headed for a late dinner in the city when Laurie suggested they pop into a Manhattan bar.

"Sacha couldn’t resist playing the fool as Borat, but picked on the wrong person," a friend of the comedian told the British tabloid.

"I guess this guy thought he was being attacked by someone unstable and lashed out. Sacha is very lucky he didn’t get a much worse beating."

Cohen did not receive any visible wounds, but was said to be seriously shaken up, and Laurie reportedly told friends he was afraid the 'Ali G' star would be beaten up badly


Now we are all New Yorkers! Seriously, don't you wish it was you? I mean punching out the bottom-feeding slimeball and his Tom Green-like humor. That is, if you can't see right through the fake "anti-Jew" schtick, perhaps you should be on your way to the latest Jack Black sidespitter. Hopefully, after his beat down the Borat clown will also get sued.
