    You have to a send a message to Hungary to report a Gawker technical problem these days, right Foster?

    Well, the site's fixed now, so it looks like the carrier pigeon made it across the Atlantic OK.

    Why turn the sound down? I assumed there would be a blaring William Tell Overture or something equally cheesy. No such thing. By muting it you miss a perfect comedic "WHUMP."

    Ever since I read about that performer firing a farmer's blow into a patron's drink and the patron drinking it, I get a sick feeling when I read anything about The Box. If it's gonna be that kind of party, I'm looking for the mashed potatoes.

    @ligmasagbatch: The show I saw there a few weeks ago was Rose Wood doing a scat play act that involved a toilet and drinking from a plunger after smearing him/herself in shit. It's one show you don't want front row seats for.

    In reply to Should Bruno Cut Its LaToya Jackson Scene?
    It should probably be cut if it will detract from the film's exploitation of gay people.


    The Jacksons don't really have much to do with The Gays anyways. Would have been smarter to go after Madonna's brother for the segment.

    In reply to Should Bruno Cut Its LaToya Jackson Scene?
    If the Bruno people think they're going to lose money because of it, they'll cut it. Not because of any "taste" issue because they don't have a lot.


    After 9/11 they wiped out all these shots of the Twin Towers in various movies and television shows. Yet we were (and still are) obsessed with talking about it.


    So what is the point of taking it out? To not be offensive? To not trigger people's "grief"? To not remind people they (he) are gone?


    People are talking about it anyway.


    I never get the whole white wash thing. Let's just pretend none of this ever happened.

    The fact that the creators of Bruno still feel like there's a line to be drawn before they "transgress the question of taste" sort of tickles me.

    @BookishLookish: Actually, I pretty much fall for every classic trick that gets perpetrated in that region.


    I guess my natural enthusiasm just gets the better of my tendency toward skepticism, every time.
