\n\tOn Sunday, Ali G posted a video on a newly created Instagram account. \u201cIz here at the men\u2019s singles in Wimbledon, which actually, despite its name, ain\u2019t a party for Gaylords. It\u2019s like the World Cup of something called tennis, which is like a crap version of ping pong. Them say that tennis is better played on grass, which is why I intend to sell as much of it while iz here. So if you want some herbal remedies, me got anything you want,\u201d Cohen\u2019s satirical character<\/a> says in the clip, trying to sell marijuana. <\/p>\n
