Sacha Baron Cohen’s Bruno is NC-17! Not.

We know Sharon Waxman knows exactly what’s going on here, and understands the game being played. Maybe she thinks nobody else does, because this gets reported in breathless gasps, as if we’re all supposed to be shocked and concerned.

Is Sacha Baron Cohen’s Bruno Too Raunchy? With outrageous sex scenes and racist humor that goes beyond Borat, Sacha Baron Cohen‚Äôs docu-comedy Bruno was just given an NC-17 rating. Can he clean up his act in time for the film‚Äôs release this summer?

Among the objectionable scenes is one in which two naked men attempt oral sex in a hot tub, while one of them holds a baby. In another, Bruno—a gay Austrian fashionista played by Baron Cohen—appears to have anal sex with a man on camera. In another, the actor goes on a hunting trip and sneaks naked into the tent of one of the fellow hunters, an unsuspecting non-actor.

Where does Waxman think we think the scenes for unrated DVD editions come from?
