Guess who makes a cameo in Sacha Baron Cohen's latest ambush comedy, Brüno? None other than Topeka's favorite sons and daughters, the Westboro Baptist Church. Salon has an interesting story on why Brüno lacks the kick in the balls of Borat because no one in the film -- aside from a brief passing with Fred Phelps' flock -- is outright homophobic, which is good for gays but bad for Brüno's boxoffice.

I guess I'm just turning into an old fart, but I have to admit - I didn't get Borat and I'm not expecting to get Bruno either. Cohen seems to specialize in taking situations that at best might be called mildly amusing and publicizing them as the Second Coming of Candid Camera. Color me unimpressed.
I know the guy has talent - I've seen clips from his TV show that were pretty good. Maybe he needs to stick with traditional sketch comedy and get off this "reality" kick.
