Whoa there, camel! LOLz!

General Aladeen (Sacha Baron Cohen) took a trip to France to spread dictatorship publicity for The Dictator.

In full Wadiyan garb, the general perched himself on top of his trusty camel.

But it looks like the camel had other ideas!

Saarai (pronounced "sorry") gave birth to a baby calf Monday.

The calf marks the first camel birth at the Cincinnati Zoo in nearly 30 YEARS!

The environmental minister in the UK is hoping that by 2015 laws could be in place that would bar tigers, camels, zebras and snakes from being used as performing animals in circuses.

The animal welfare minister said:

"There is no place in today's society for wild animals being used for our entertainment in traveling circuses. Wild animals deserve our respect."

Growing support from animal advocate groups, circus-goers and law makers have really pushed this campaign forwards.

Especially after undercover video leaked of a circus elephant being beaten by a worker.

Because it may take some time for a ban to take effect the government has imposed

HA!

This promo for ABC's newest competition reality show, Expedition Impossible, makes camels look mean as hell!

These camels are being so bitchy they make the Crazy Nastyass Honey Badger look like the kind of friend that would pick you up from the dentist after you had a root canal.

If you like what you see check out the premiere of Expedition Impossible this Thursday.

Grace. Prestige. Humility.

Words seldom used to describe Sacha Baron Cohen. (Insert camel toe joke here.)

Fifth Avenue was temporarily shut down in the early Sunday morning as the movie crew and animals took up to ten blocks to shoot Baron Cohen's newest comedy, The Dictator.

The dad of two (with wife, actress Isla Fisher) spent his Father’s Day riding a camel and sporting quite the colorful outfit. Best Father’s Day ever?

The film, which is reportedly based on a book written by Sadam Hussein, is expected to hit theaters in 2012.

Anna Faris is co-staring in the this movie IMDB says is about “the heroic story of a dictator who risks his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed.”

Camels and comedy didn’t mix for The Daily Show this week!

A gag that was to be shot with a camel in Wisconsin was scrapped after the animal’s leg became entangled in a metal barricade, causing the animal to fall down.

The Daily Show issued a statement about the matter today:

Earlier this week, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart was in Madison, WI shooting a segment about the Wisconsin labor protests. For an element of the piece, we made arrangements through a local animal wrangler to film a camel. Prior to any filming, the camel, while in the care of its handlers, got its leg caught in a barricade and fell. The camel was not injured, but after the incident, The Daily Show immediately decided not to pursue the idea any further and did not film any material with the camel. The camel remains in good health but is declining media requests at this time.

Video captured some of the unfortunate incident, which includes Daily Show correspondent John Oliver asking the person filming the action, to turn off the camera.

What a cute segment!
