    This was the movie's problem. Anyone would be pissed off in that situation. Lots of Bruno trolling people completely undeserving of his antics. It wasn't clever, he wasn't exposing some underlying homophobia, he was basically just sexually harassing them. The Ron Paul scene was even worse.

    Like I said, Bruno is my least favorite of Cohen's characters. Ali G interviews very high-profile people and brings them down to his level by acting like a moron and using really clever improv humor. Borat exploits cultural differences and does his best to make normal interactions completely confusing and frustrating.

    Bruno just makes people uncomfortable by hitting on them. Then he says something stereotypically camp and audiences erupt with laughter. 2 or the 3 penises later and you've just got a really weak movie. There were only about four or five worthwhile scenes in this.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    Dick and fart and gay jokes have their place in comedy. Otherwise Seann William Scott wouldn't get roles.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?
