SACHA Baron Cohen's latest alter ego, Admiral General Shabazz Aladeen, responded to being banned from the Academy Awards by threatening the West with "unimaginable consequences" unless the sanction was lifted.
Cohen called US chat show Today in character as tyrannical despot Aladeen to express his "outrage" over the decision by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
