highlight:

Amy Wheaton, 41, a market media analyst who lives in West Plano, attended the Carrollton taping after hearing about it from co-worker Leseman, who describes Brüno's spin on "family values:

He brought out a black baby that appeared to be about 18 months old. The baby wore cowboy boots on the wrong feet and a T-shirt with the words "GAYBY" across the front. He told the crowd that the baby ate sushi and guzzled Starbucks lattes and was taken often to all-night parties.

"He said that, if the baby wanted to have a sex change when he turned 18, he would support him wholeheartedly," Leseman says, "but if he turned out to be straight, he would disown him."

Brüno told one man he had "some friends he would like him to meet," to which the man replied, "The only friends of mine you're going to meet are Smith and Wesson."

Brüno showed slides from a family album, such as the baby wearing shackles to symbolize the slavery of his ancestors, being attacked by a swarm of bees and ? this is the one that prompted Leseman to walk out ? the baby on a cross.

Wheaton says that, at one point, Cohen had so outraged the crowd, she feared for the baby's safety.

"The baby starts to stand up in the carriage," Wheaton says, "and Sacha is not paying a bit of attention to what the baby is doing. My friend leans forward to grab the baby, and when she does, Sacha starts cursing at her, really violently."

haha. While he's obviously trying to upset the crowd like a worthless troll, they're totally buying into it making them just as guilty as he is. Although :thumbsup: to the lady for looking out for the baby while he was on his tirade of a slideshow.

I honestly can't wait to see this movie to laugh both at the stupidity of the stereotypes he's going to portray, but the hypocrisy and epic dumbassery his antics bring out in people.

I find cohen to be a dick. BUT his situations do bring up good social questions and situations.

it feels like SBC has been doing promos for this movie since Michael Jackson was black.

Cohen is new the king of movie promo's, supplanting previous king Will Farrell. Major difference of course is that Cohen's movies deliver, Farrell's are abysmal.

I've seen two whole commercials for Bruno and the TV is on almost constantly when I'm home.

You mean Cohen's movie (singular) so far has delivered(ish). Nobody knows if Bruno is going to be worth a shit.

I think it's just "cool" to hate Cohen and Farrel. I like them both.

Isn't that ultimately the point?

It has nothing to do with being 'cool' or following the crowd.

Borat had me laughing to the point of tears a few times.

Farrel bores and annoys me.
