Sacha Baron Cohen Thing of the Day: As the saying goes: When life hands you a blacklisting, make blacklistingmonade.

The rumored banning of actor/merry prankster Sacha Baron Cohen from Sunday’s Academy Awards ceremony — allegedly for his intention to show up dressed as his Dictator character — has afforded Cohen the opportunity to promote his upcoming film without having to set foot inside the Theater Formerly Known As Kodak.

In a “video statement” released this morning, Cohen — as “Admiral General Alladeen” — calls on the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Zionists to return his ticket by 12 PM on Sunday or face “unimaginable consequences.”

Which I assume means he will release yet another plug for his movie.
