    My sentiments exactly. Cretins aren't going to watch this and think, "Oh man, homophobia is silly!", they're just going to think, "lol look at that faggot waving his knob about... gaaaay"

    Because an entertainment movie MUST serve a larger social purpose!

    It totally doesn't have to, but it does make it worse if it serves the purpose of enabling discrimination against a group of people

    How many Black Comedies (racial, not tone) do you think care about that?

    You don't see a difference in a comdedy made by a subset of people making fun of that subset, and a comedy making fun of a subset without being part of it?
    Brüno as a racial comedy would be a white guy in blackface making fun of blacks, for example.

    At the end of the day, you're being an idiot, because the type of people who you think would have their homophobic stereotypes reinforced aren't going to sit through an opening scene of dude-on-dude anal-play, much less the tons of other explicit content in the movie.

    You compared it to black comedies, which is not a sound comparison imo, which I tried to show. I'm not going to argue for your invalid comparison :P

    Of course it would be something else if it was made by a gay guy, or do you somehow refuse the notion that a group can empower itself by trying to ridicule negative stereotypes/words attached to them?

    Social changes happen through slow paradigm shifts, or as someone might say "The TV is destroying our youth!"
    The more often a certain idea is reinforced, the more it becomes a part of accepted mainstream reality. This works both ways.

    Yeah I guess you could keep people from ideas that are too dangerous for them on account of their lack of education but I don't really think that's a great long term plan.

    Empowerment does not SOLELY come from within.

    Old man using the word "queer" doesn't mean shit.

    And most folks, including plenty of dudes who actually ARE gay would have left the room at the point where a strange man starts disrobing.



    I'm no fan of Ron Paul, but that was really the low-point of the movie.
