      Penises are always funny. I don't know how you guys can take a leak without busting up.
      What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

        Yeah, they are. People always bust up laughing when they see mine.

            Do you have an answer for my question?
            The answer is that a person involved in the production of the movie felt it added value, like Jamie Lee's boobs in Trading Places, or Alanna Ubach's vagina in Waiting. Both movies could have made the same artistic points they wanted to make without including those scenes, but the creative process determined that it was better with them. I would imagine similar thinking went into the inclusion of a penis in Bruno and other movies.

            Why is showing a penis worse/different than showing a breast or vagina?

              Not worse. Just more funny.

                Ebert also gave "Knowing" 4 stars calling it "A superbly crafted thriller."

                    I'd like to take back what I had said. Penises aren't all that funny. Bruno was AWFUL. We walked out and I got our money back. We ended up just watching Gran Torino at home. Good movie.

                      WHAT? You have obviously never seen Puppetry of the Penis!

                      If you are ever in NYC, you should check this out. It will change your stance on this issue.

                          I haven't seen the movie, but this skit from Da Ali G Show always made me smile. You have to watch until the end.

                            I was tempted to walk out, too. I ended up staying through til the end, but holy smokes, that was a brutal movie.

                              Also, I felt really bad for Ron Paul. There are people who take themselves seriously in a bad/exagerrated importance kind of way, but there are some people who have the right and deserved level of sobriety about them (like Ron Paul). He didn't deserve to be a skit in this movie.

                              Harrison Ford's appearance was good, though.

                                Yes. I have seen enough of Jason Segel's "man meat" to last a lifetime.
