Bruno hit with 18 rating as Sacha Baron Cohen pays price for refusing to cut his gay sex scenes

Censors were offended by scenes of Bruno having sex with his pygmy boyfriend, another in which he mimes oral sex with a ghost of German dance act Milli Vanilli, and a swingers' party were all deemed unsuitable for a 15 certificate.

"We clearly wanted it to be a 15. In Ireland it is a 16, in the Netherlands a 12 and in America an R. It is absurd that you can see it as a 17-year-old in Dublin but not in London."

However, it's already been mired in a storm of controversy, with the Gay Rights Group in America accusing Baron Cohen of promoting homophobia.

The furore comes less than two weeks after a California woman sued the comedian, claiming he left her severely injured while making the film.

And in April, Texas congressman Ron Paul accused him of fraud, after being unwittingly tricked into a hotel room with Bruno.

He claimed he was in a studio for an interview about Austrian economics when he was told the interview would take place in a back room.

'By the time he (Cohen) started pulling his pants down, I was like what on earth is going on here and I ran out of the room,' he said.

I tried watching Borat a while back with my girlfriend but we got bored after twenty minutes or so. I guess there's something about it people find funny. Seems to sort of go along with the reality TV stuff where the appeal, from what I can tell, centers around watching other people being humiliated. Fun.

Actually, it's about the irony. I don't necessarily agree with his dishonest ambush tactics, but some of the ignorant/intolerant admissions he can get people to make are amazing. He probably couldn't get those rare moments of ugly honesty any other way.

And his humour works the other way, too, when an anti-defamation league doesn't understand that he's exposing homophobia, not endorsing it. 9_9

His humour is crash, boorish, and offensive, but the undertones of it are intelligent and pointed, and for that reason I'm able to respect his work.

Yeah. That's what I'd heard. That's why I watched Borat in the first place. But what I saw, instead, was relatively innocent people being manipulated into saying stuff that made them look bad.

It reminded me of Bill Mahrer's "Religiosity". Though I agreed with most of the points he was trying to make (as I likely would with some of Cohen's), he passed up opportunities to make insightful, and still funny, commentary in favor of cheap shots and "humiliation as spectacle" stunts.

The Daily Show crowd does this sort of thing much better, and with a good deal more taste and humanity. Cohen just comes off as a smug frat-boy making fun of hapless (yet otherwise normal) people.

I still think it's the giddy thrill of watching "real people" being humiliated that drives the success of this kind of entertainment. But hey, maybe I'm just an uptight old man who doesn't "get it".

It reminds me of potty humor that passes for comedy on British TV, which Cohen started on, apparently.

Excrutiating to watch, but strangely compelling.

Like you can feel your IQ dropping into double digits.

As for Idocracy on Reality TV, one of the sports channels this week had an entire show about the science of kicking somebody in the nuts. A 6'9" black American Gladiator was hired to kick a guy in the nads with 1,000 lbs of force. We are domed.

Or, in your case, your IQ CLIMBING into the double digits.

But you're right; we ARE "domed".

Sadly, my IQ has suddenly dropped over 20 points, as measured by Social Security Disability contractors (but still triple digits). This is due to extreme insomnia by kidney disease, which seems worse than when a healty person has only 1 hour sleep.

So be sure and get 8 hours of sleep every day, to raise your IQ. Except when watching Bruno.

Scariest thing is predictive programming in Hollywood, first with Demolition Man saying Arnold would be governor (then president), and Idiocracy picking a black president with "Joe" as VP... NWO is laffing at US. In combat that's called softening up the target.

Sometimes you own the libs. Sometimes, the libs own you.


Here's some brilliant borat stuff,

A personal favourite, where he goes canvassing with a republican candidate - the segment in the middle starting at about 3:00:




And the classic 'In my country there is problem.'

Yeah, Top gear is quite heavily scripted/edited to create the drama I always feel, but it's done very well.

As do I. Top Gear is BRILLIANT!

And thank goodness they pulled the plug on the "Top Gear USA" knock-off they were going to do with Adam Corolla.
