[kj] (Very OT) Bruno - Autism

 Stephen, I concur. Yet, making fun of people with disabilities, nationalities, etc. etc is wrong. I totally concur, and I should have listened to my nature and not watch the movie. Serves me really well.

countess you do know that most humour is at the expense of someone ?

that's the workings of man 

to laugh at the differences or weaknesses of others 

if you had seen borat you would have known what to expect 

ali g was?a bit off in places

I wish I read this article before going to the theatre. Not that I was expecting this movie to be funny in an intelligent way.

http://news.bostonherald.com/entertainment/movies/reviews/view/20090710bruno/srvc=home&position=7

In the very first minutes of the movie, Bruno (Sacha Baron Cohen), an obnoxious fashionista, makes fun of autism in his talk show called "Funkyzeit". This turned me immediately off,? and needed to leave the theatre immediately. If I read that article I would have never gone. I am so ready to debate about this with everyone. Soo ready. Sacha Baron Cohen is on my chopping block. I am pissed off.

I thought you guys should know.

Cheers,

CG
