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.

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.
