Will Bruno help, harm or be ignored?

[grhqofb5]

In your opinion, are caricatures like "Bruno" going to harm the gay community, or these depictions have a positive effect? No effect at all?

By the way, a link to the trailer:

Dunno, but it'll be hilarious

[Spaceman Spiff]

I don't care.

Good answer. We need to keep this discussion on point.

[grhqofb5]

I don't care. Neither do I.

[Spaceman Spiff]

Neither do I.

Good. I thought you were going to explain to me why I should :)

[grhqofb5]

Good. I thought you were going to explain to me why I should :) Hell no. I'm going to be very dissapointed if any real intellectual discussion breaks out here.

[Spaceman Spiff]

Hell no. I'm going to be very dissapointed if any real intellectual discussion breaks out here.

Well you should be. :)

Its a comedic approach.

It won't do any damage. I could see it opening up tolerance in the most extreme cases, but unlikely.

Next time your in the supermarket check out the cover of GQ. I bought it tonight, thank God for the self checkout line, I wouldn't be able to face a cashier. :)

I hope there is no effect, but I am sure some idiots will think all homosexuals act in a flamboyant manner.

Trading ipod for baby = good trade.. I hope baby paid shipping.

I've seen the poll and I've read it. I've placed my vote, closest to my opinion. I am offended that there wasn't another choice in the poll. If that would've been a choice, I'd have picked...


















































Colt Brennan.

damn, I thought it was gonna be a 'Blame Toe Jam' option :(

[NeckBone]

swap baby = ipod

Great!

[ljs]

I think it's funny- if someone is offended- get over it.

[Painkiller]

I think it could only help. Sacha Baron Cohen is hysterical, because everything is fair game in his comedy. He offends everyone equally. It's beautiful. lol

:D

[TheLongshot]

My wife's reaction to the trailer was, "Didn't Ben Stiller already do this in Zoolander?"

I don't expect this movie to have nearly the reaction that Borat did. I think over the long term, Borat is looking to be overrated.

[IbleedBnG83]

Hell no. I'm going to be very dissapointed if any real intellectual discussion breaks out here.

An intellectual discussion whether a movie like Bruno will help or hurt that gay community? You are asking a bit much. Not to be a dick, but why would anyone think that???

Sacha Baron Cohen is overrated and needs to go away. And I say that as someone who owns Borat. He gets old fast. As for the movie, I doubt it will change much, I think most people are going into it to be entertained, and probably have firm views on homosexuals already. I doubt a slapstick movie is going to change anyone's opinion one way or another.

As I said, no intellectual discussion is a good thing. I'm sure someone could argue that it'll reinforces gay stereotypes, etc., or make a mockery of homosexuality, or that it'll establish new gay stereotypes.

But not here.

if anything, it makes light and eases tension...

[Rocky21]

Wait a minute. The Bruno character is supposed to be gay?

[headexplode]

If anything, it makes me more tense, if you know what I mean.

I watched part of Borat on USA last weekend and I have to say it still had me LOL 3 years later.

[velocet]

Just my guess from seeing the trailer: Bruno The Slappy Euro is more of the funnay (sic) focus than Bruno the 'Mo.
