What's worse? Homophobia or perpetuating stereotypes?
I don't think a movie that featured enslaved black farmers goin' "Yessa, massa!" or "long-nosed jews" charging ridiculous rent would go over well.
The movie may be funny like a 2 hour stint of fart jokes, but I wouldn't call it a deep, moving social commentary piece.
Eh. First it was racism and sexism. Those got played out.
Now gay is the new approved beater for idiots everywhere.

Dude you're totally missing the point on what both Borat and Bruno were about. The basic premise of Boart was centered around exposing and mocking the xenophobia and general narrow-mindedness that pervades our culture. I'm assuming Bruno has a similar take on homophobia and fashion twerps. The sketches from the Ali G show with Cohen doing Borat and Bruno are pretty hilarious and I suggest them to all. Some of the stunts he pulls are genius, and some of the pretensions in people he uncovers are really what's truly appalling.
That's pretty much why I find this type of stuff funny, you just can't go wrong with satirical humour. And I'll for sure be seeing this flick before I ever see Superbad, Knocked Up, Pineapple Express, Year One, or whatever else that hackneyed true college comedy offers. Although I highly doubt I'll pay to see it :/
