Bruno's offensive material no longer appropriate

Sacha Baron Cohen, most notoriously known for creating movies out of his skits from Da Ali G Show, had to make a last-minute cut to his movie to save grief to Michael jackson fans everywhere. Jackson's older sister Latoya Jackson's scene in Cohens latest film 'Bruno' was cut for the Thursday night Hollywood premiere. The movie mentions Cohen interviewing Jackson and stealing her digital assistant to get her brother Michael's number. The interview was apparently so profane that Latoya walked out mid-interview. 'Bruno' opens July 10 without any link to the music icon Michael Jackson. A statement saying the scene was removed out of respect to the Jackson family was issued by Universal Studios.


The lead was very informative, yet a little wordy. I do feel that it contained all the necessary information so I did not mind the length. The transition from the lead to the second graf was very smooth, but again I felt the second graf could have been split up as it was a bit long.



In music news it was hard to find anything without the subject of Michael Jackson's death. A tragic loss, but certainly taking over news coverage everywhere. I decided to explore this with a new angle that probably relates more to movies than my music blog, however Michael Jackson was a music icon so i thought it was still appropriate.
