I'm not homophobic, I don't hate anyone. But I don't want to see two dudes making out on the street corner. It's fucking disgusting.

I will watch this movie because I laughed a shitload at Da Ali G show and I'm sure this movie will be hilarious. Cohen is an instigator and it's fun to watch that.

But so what? There's room for every view point on AICN talkbacks.

"They made a choice, they can keep that choice." You honestly think that gay people are just being contrarian? "Pussies are so mainstream. I'm turning gay!" Scientifically proven or not, it IS something you're born with. Which is why movies like Bruno, which force you to look your demons in the eye and deal with the fact that these guys are here to stay, are only a good thing.

Heterosexual imagery is thrust into people's faces all the time, whether they like it or not. The only reason why gay imagery inspires feelings of revulsion in some people is due to its unfamiliarity... You reckon if you saw a hardcore gay porn movie every day for three months you'd feel quite so disgusted at the end of that?

We're at a crossroads here, not unlike the time of the Suffragettes. It's up to you to choose whether you're going to surrender to that thing inside you holding the world back, or realise that these guys are people, same as you.

Vive la Rose Revolucion!

And as a bisexual person, I can tell you that one doesn't simply sit down and decide to be gay. It's innate. I'm not sure if it's even possible to prove something like that in the scientific sense. Putting aside the fact that people conduct tests/polls etc. to promote certain agendas, it'd be like trying to prove that grossly obese people have little willpower. It's pretty obvious, but not so easily to definitively prove.

S'far as "their lifestyle," besides the buggery, I'm not sure I know what you mean... You think that every single gay person, without exception, goes to their local Blue Oyster every night to pick up a new guy?

Now THAT would be some FUNNY SHIT

And only a moron would generalize people the way you did in your post! Why didn't you add, anyone who doesn't see this movie is a homophobe? Or people that walk on the left side of the street are homophobes? Or.....

It was like watching a movie filmed on location in an AICN talkback.

let's try this. "black people are horrible, but I'm not racist!!"

jesus, at least we console ourselves with the knowledge that you're all going the way of the dodo. your grandkids will look back at you the way we look back at racist grandparents nowadays. just don't let your knuckled get caught in the doorstop on the way out.

Trey Parker & Matt Stone in Baseketball

Sean William Scott & Ashton Kutcher in Dude, Where's my Car?

Jonathan Ryes Meyer & Ewan McGregor in Velvet Goldmine

Can't wait to see Ewan and Jim Carrey make out in their upcuming flick. Have you *seen* Jim Carrey's tongue?!?

And don't get me started on the aulophobics! (http://tinyurl.com/mbxd6t). What have flutes ever done to them?

And if pink people are expanding - or reproducing - the same as blue people, wouldn't the percentage stay about the same instead of increasing?

1)If you could make out with any talkbacker - based on posting prowess alone - who would it be?

2) Can I watch?

by the way, if two gay dudes want to bang each other in the ass with rings on, great. i dont care. i get that they just want equality and all that, but marriage is fucking nuts either way. it really is a non-issue.

anyway, i have a phobia of idiots, of which there are many here. stupid people, gay or straight, are truly scary.

Sounds pretty fucking bigoted, doesn't it?

In the last firefight the convoy had been Oscar Mike and Iceman had mentioned the killer instincts in this Whiskey Tango sitting there behind him with the SAW. The journalist scribbled it down. Trombley shifted in his MOPP suit, trying to hide the enormous boner he was getting. He tried to cover the erection with his SAW but then he wouldn't be watching his sector, so he leaned forward out the window, hoping that damned liberal faggot from Rolling Stone wouldn't catch the chubb he'd been harboring since combat.

Just then Rudy pulled his HMMW abreast, with his shirt off, wearing only a bandolier of grenades.

Whopper Junior was going to have one hell of a combat jack that night. One hell of a combat jack.

But as he looked at Person he was scared of the man's hidden strength, so he wandered off looking for Encino Man and Captain America. Two men he could take by force. And he'd ask Casey Kasem to film it. Kasem, who hoarded all the night vision goggles for his dildos...

and lesbian couples often have children biologically, through various means. and many gay male couple adopt children who are in need of a loving home. not to mention, with overpopulation running rampant, do we really think that having as many children as possible is a litmus test for contributing to society?

not to mention the BILLIONS of dollars for small business that would be created if gay marriage were legalized...but of course, we don't need that type of help now, right?

much better we keep our blinders on and pretend gay people "choose" to have sam sex partners because they love the delicious blend of intolerance and lack of civil rights.

Some people just don't "get" it do they ?

is it also a choice that i find two chicks making out pretty damn hot? why would i decide that is hot. same with two dudes. it just grosses me out. leanr to tolerate it like i tolerate every one else.

"A recent study conducted by the Congressional Budget Office found that if all 50 states and the federal government extended the rights and obligations of marriage to same-sex couples, gay weddings would generate almost $1 billion in revenue each year. According to other estimates, same-sex marriages could tack on more than $16 billion annually to the $70 billion wedding industry."

I have the pdf file of the whole Congressional Budget study if you'd like.

being wrong is tough, I know. but you gotta own it and move on...

if you get locked in a room with some asshole constantly hitting on you, and you dont like it, you are a anti-homosexual.

if you are having a straight orgy because you are straight and some guy wants to ram your ass and you dont want him to, you are a anti-homosexual. anything else?

no wonder GLAAD is against this movie. he isnt pointing out rampant anti-homosexual people (in many cases). this isnt satire you idiots, its just punk'd the movie.

if I were married, and a woman came on to me, I would politely decline. if I were married and a gay man came on to me, I would also politely decline. yelling about queers and writhing in utter contempt and disgust wouldn't enter into it. that's the difference.

as it has been pointed out, the Bruno character isn't meant to be simply a "normal" gay character to show the hidden cameras what happens when gay and straight people meet. it's a grandiose, over the top, flamboyant portrayal, in order to get as wild a reaction from each person as possible. and you can call that trickery or conceit, of course it is, but it's meant to be FUNNY. just as Borat was over the top, so is Bruno.

Cohen himself stated, when asked if the "throw the jew down the well" country music singers in the bar were anti-semetic, "maybe, but probably not. they were probably just complacent and indifferent." and that's the whole point of ALL of this:

sure, two guys making out in a cage, instead of a cage fight is ridiculous. but if I PERSONALLY saw that, I would laugh and go, "this is nuts! what is going on!?" I wouldn't have the urge and rage to hurt someone. just like with Borat, it was about how far you can push an ordinary person with outlandish behavior, before they show you just how outlandish they will allow themselves to be when they think they're in safe territory.

so is everyone in this movie that is disgusted and repulsed and afraid of Bruno's behavior homophobic? well, maybe not. but they certainly don't deal with it in the same way they would deal with similarly outlandish behavior from a straight person. and that's the point.

honestly, I don't think many people are holding him up to be a paragon of gay rights. I think that's a construct of people not knowing the point/humor of it. Borat was not advancing the cause of Jewish people, just by exposing the humorous and ridiculous nature of latent anti-semitism. it was just food for thought. same with Bruno. it ain't changing the world, it's just humor.

Playing devil's advocate on gay marriage rights [and extending Pilgrim's born with it line], what if tomorrow someone says they want to marry their sheep and want all marriage rights for that? Homosexuality is all about sexual behaviour/preference, deviant or not.

Heck, imagine all the geeks living in mom's basements wanting marriage rights between 'man and his hand'. O:

Bruno: Do you have a message for the Austrian gay community?

Skinhead: "Fucking what?"

I mean, that's classic shit. he was fearless, even back then...

I'll be in my bunk...

But, when I pulled off my attitude's shirt to examine its abdominals, it was all flabby and furry, and no one can expect me to be fine with that!

Truly?

Bruno?

Expo ses hypocrisy, challenges homophobia, rips the mask off the face of American intolerance, all of that?

Jebus, that's stupid.

Bruno makes Paula Abdul look like an ass. How easy is that?

If you think "Punk'd" and Johnny Knoxville are cool, and you still have a poster of Beavis and Butthead on your wall, this is your kind of humor. Enjoy it. But don't claim it as some great step forward in human relations.

It's clearly not.

Might surprise someone who identifies their entire being by their sexuality, but I'd be pretty disgusted having to watch straight porn every day for three months.

Look, I understand, gay men and women want to see themselves represented in media. We all want to see ourselves.

But forget it, if you believe America is represented by the Bravo channel on cable.

That's a fantasy.

Divorce "destroys" marriage. Adultery "destroys" marriage. Gays marrying reinforces the institution just by allowing more people access to it.

You're not entitled to an opinion that contradicts language.

They couldn't've been aberrations, 'cause the Lord don't make none of them, do He?

especially since, if you actually understand real economics (which I'd be surprised if you do) the Tax Foundation is pretty shitty:

just googling shit without understanding it is a bitch, huh?

oh, by the bye...here are a bunch of other article/sites that clearly show how huge an economic impact legalizing gay marriage would have. you can oppose it, that's your right, but you need to do so on an ideological basis. the economic argument holds no water at all...honestly, just don't even try. arguing that legalizing gay marriage would somehow hurt the economy is like arguing that the Titanic didn't sink, but rather flew up into the sky after hitting the iceberg. it's ridiculous. truly ridiculous. if you let millions of people suddenly get married, it helps he economy, period. to argue otherwise is ludicrous.

you don't want to argue logic with me, kiddo. you're out of your weight class. stick with what you're best at, regurgitating the same simple minded rhetoric you learned as a kid. "I learned about gays, and I Was like, WTF!!!"

going the way of the dodo, indeed.

However, the idea that you had an inborn sense that man + woman is RIGHT and man + man is WRONG is ludicrous.

The more I think about Bruno the more I love it. Because of what it stands for. And it does stand for something. You just have to let it settle to realize it.

And Doctor Cosmic is a nutter butter.

Jesse Benton was apparently fired from Bob Barr's staff after setting up the interview between him and Borat. Now that he's married to Ron Paul's granddaughter, I wonder if he'll get the same treatment.

Queer comments aside, Paul is more likely to let gay marriage happen than most of the so called liberal congressmen out there. At the very least, he'd leave it up to the states to decide. Libertarians make poor targets (cept Barr, who never really was one).

But then, he started crying about some disabled guy stealing his flower pots and how Cadillac never gave him the second Escalade they promised him, and I had to kick him out of my sleeping bag.

Whiny lil bitch.
