Just Jared posted some pictures today of Bruno trying to interview Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (see photo album). Apparently, Schwarzenegger ducked the interview and jumped into his SUV. Which makes sense, because Bruno probably didn't even ask him any questions about orgies, which is the only kind of interview he's willing to do. Otherwise his handlers are like "shove." The Bruno movie is slated to come out as early as this fall (July 10th UK), which is good news for people who like funny things, and great news for people trying to bet on what will be next year's most common hipster Halloween costume. The episode of Da Ali G Show when Bruno interviewed an RV full of college wrestlers on spring break may be one of the funniest things on that whole show. see videos (Austria Gay TV)

As uncomfortable as any of the Borat scenarios could get, the Bruno material was always much more painful. People will squeamishly tolerate an inappropriate foreigner, but a gay foreigner is the yuckiest! I'm curious what percentage of the people who end up seeing the Bruno movie will come away from it understanding the anti-homophobic nuances of it, and which percentage will come away thinking we should throw the gays down the well. It's always that fine line between humorously pointing out bigoted tendencies, and providing catch-phrases for those bigots to annoyingly yell out at a crowded bar.

Goooooooooood question. Eastern European stereotypes aren't quite as hot-button as homosexual ones (though Kazakhstan did get pissed about Borat). A lot of Bruno's segments yielded funnier answers (Jonathan Anton, e.g.) than Borat's funny questions did.

I have to admit as a gay man Im concerned at the Bruno movie, I think its going to encourage homophobia. I hope Im wrong......

What's the difference between a gay and a microwave?
A microwave won't brown your sausage.

This prisoner escapes after 15 years.
He breaks into a house to look for money and food, and finds a young couple in bed.
He orders the guy out of bed and ties him to a chair and he ties the wife to the bed, and gets on top of her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom.
While he's in there, the husband tells his wife: "Listen, this guy is an escaped prisoner, look at his clothes! He's probably spent lots of time in jail, and hasn't seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck. If he wants sex, don't resist, don't complain and do what he tells you, no matter how much he ravages you. This guy is probably really dangerous. If he gets angry, he'll kill us. Be strong, honey. I love you."
To which the wife responds, "He wasn't kissing my neck. He was whispering in my ear. He told me he was gay, and thought you were cute. He asked if we kept any Vaseline in the bathroom, so I told him where to find it. Be strong, darling. I love you, too."

A Scouser inadvertently goes into a gay bar for a beer. He sits at the bar supping his pint when one gay gentleman decides to chance his luck. He approaches the Scouser and whispers something into his ear, whereupon the Liverpudlian turns around in complete disgust and horror and proceeds to punch the living fuck out of the homosexual, fist after fist punching him out the door, kicking him across the pub car park, relentlessly punching and kicking until the victim lay comatose. The Scouser then dusted himself down and calmly returned to his pint at the bar, whilst the horrified staff and clientèle stood silent and motionless.
Eventually, the barman plucks up the courage to ask what had happened:
Barman: "Bloody hell, mate. What on earth did he whisper to you?"
Scouser: "Dunno, something about a 'job'."

Teacher to class: "What does your dad do at weekends?".
Little Boy: "He's a dancer in a gay bar and sometimes if the money's right he lets punters bang his arse and cum in his gob".
Teacher takes him outside, "Is that true?".
Little boy: "No miss, it's bollocks. He plays for Derby County but I'm too embarrassed to say".

A little boy came home from school and said, "Dad, is God a man or a woman?"
"He is both son.....male and female," he replied.
"Is he black or white?" he asked.
"Again, he is both black and white," the father replied.
"Well, is he gay or straight then?" asked the kid.
"Again, God is both gay and straight," he said.
"Dad.....is God....Michael Jackson?"

gay Ray goes into the doctor's office and has some tests run.
The doctor comes back and says, "Ray, I'm not going to beat around the bush. You have AIDS."
Ray is devastated. "Doc, what can I do?"
"Eat 1 curry sausage, 1 head of cabbage, 20 unpeeled carrots drenched in hot sauce, 10 Jalapeno peppers, 40 walnuts and 40 peanuts,1/2 box of Grape nuts cereal, and top it off with a gallon of prune juice."
Ray asks bewildered, "Will that cure me, Doc? "
Doc says, "No, but it should leave you with a better understanding of what your fuckin' arse is for."

A man walks into a bar and orders ten double whiskies, downs 'em in one.
The barman says, "What's up?"
The man replies, "My youngest son's just told me that he's gay."
The next day, the same man goes in and orders fifteen double whiskies.
"What's up now?" asks the barman.
"I just found out my eldest son is gay," he replies.
The next day he goes in and orders twenty whiskies.
"Fuck me!" says the barman, "Does no one in your family like pussy?"
"Yes," he replies. "My wife, apparently."

Have you noticed how gay guys are normally quite well off?
I suppose it's because they don't have fucking girlfriends

I got asked to judge 'Mr gay UK' the other week. I said no problem, he's immoral, against nature and he's going to hell

This gay bloke tells his boyfriend that he has got a nice new tattoo on his arse as a special treat for
