Blog Guy, how can I get Reuters to take my picture? I imagine I’d have to do something VERY newsworthy.
Not really. All you have to do is put on silly outfits and go from city to city like that butthead British actor whose name I’m not going to mention. We’ll take your picture everywhere you go and put out 46 pictures in two weeks, and it probably isn’t over yet.
I had no idea it was that easy! Hey, I recognize that guy - doesn’t he have a new movie out?
I wouldn’t know about that.
So wait a minute. You’re saying every time he goes to a new place, to promote the very same thing over and over, you cover it like news? But surely at some point some editor says, “Sorry, we’ve already shot that dude in London and Madrid and Berlin and Amsterdam, and that’s enough.”
You don’t get around much, do you, slick?

Though he does sort of resemble Peggie in his darling leopard spotted get up!
All right, who am I kidding? She WAS the queen of Trashy suburb leoparddom.
- Posted by timI hear he’s going to be on the mall for the fireworks. Not sure of the pseudonym/character though.
- Posted by Shawn HendricksI was rather confussed, initially, having never seen the Brüno manifestation. The Borat and Ali-G manifestations as well as his un-bleached, mistachioed, normal self being that to which I am accustomed.
My suspicion is that this latest low-budget flick will probably do as well as his previous offerings.

- Posted by Have Anyone Ever Tried The Over Counter Sleep Medication Sleep Md?[...] It seems that all you need to do to attract major media attention is to put on silly outfits and go from city to city pretending to be a homosexual. Yep, that’s right, every time Bruno goes to a new place, to promote the very same thing over and over, the major media outlets cover it like news. Surely at some point some editor says, “Sorry, we’ve already shot that dude in London and Madrid and Berlin and Amsterdam, and that’s enough.” Read more here. [...]
