Bruno Too Gay To Function In The Ukraine
Bruno is too gay for Ukraine. Thats not really surprising, in fact Im pretty sure hes also too gay for gay people. But they arent banning him from their midst, and the Ukraine is.
Variety reports that the former soviet country has deemed the movieimmoral. Theyre not down with Brunos talking penis, his pedal-powered sex machine, his bad language, or really much of anything else in the movie. They think its obscene and improper, and of course theyre right, thats kind of the point.
So Ukrainians wont be able to buy tickets for Bruno. No loss, after all its no Borat. It is sort of interesting that some believe the ban is being instituted out of fear of offending religious sectors of the population. Wasnt Ukraine communist like five minutes ago? Arent communists supposed to be anti-religion? They seemed to have latched on to the god thing hard and fast.
Universal is already releasing a watered down version of the film in other repressive, censorship heavy countries countries like the United Kingdom. Wait a minute, when did the UK turn into China? Yet even that version it would seem, which ditches a full minute and a half of Sacha Baron Cohens testicles, isnt safe enough for Ukraine. Not that I blame them. If I could un-see Sacha Baron Cohens pubic hair, I would.
