In this deleted scene from the Bruno movie, recently leaked to promote the DVD release on November 17th, baseball great Pete Rose is subjected to the same here-sit-on-my-Mexican stunt that Bruno used on Paula Abdul. To his credit, Rose doesn’t squirm or complain, he just settles in and starts talkin’ baseball. At one point the crew tries to rattle Rose when his chair starts acting uncomfortable. But Rose is unflappable.
“He don’t seem to understand that this is very uncomfortable for this guy. So get another guy here, because this guy’s uncomfortable.”
And then they swap Mexicans. See? The first step toward a post racial society is to treat every minority as an individual. Just because one Mexican isn’t good at being a chair, that’s no reason to assume that a different Mexican wouldn’t be better. Well done, Pete Rose, it seems this is not your first time sitting on a Mexican. Ahh, good times. It’s like my junior high experience in reverse.

I’m not going to make fun of Sylvester Stallone for being old, because hey, everyone gets old (except for me, fingers crossed fingers crossed…). At least Sly had the decency to shoot HGH and stab gooks in the face. Anyway, yadda yadda yadda, Rambo 5.
The upcoming project’s storyline revolves around Rambo fighting his way through human traffickers and drug lords to rescue a young girl abducted near the U.S.-Mexico border. Production will start in the spring. [Variety]
DAMN YOU, HUMAN TRAFFICKERS! STOP STEALING PEOPLES’ DAUGHTERS! “I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you that I don’t have money. What I do have is a particular set of skills. Skills that I have acquired over a long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. And when I’m pushed… killin’s as easy as breathin’.” *downs steroid pills, tears off a Mexican’s arms and beats him to death*
OOOH WHA-AA AA-AA!!
*Bow and arrow, bodies hitting floor*
NY Mag recently obtained some production notes from Brüno, which for once are actually interesting (production notes are usually just a collection of the cast and crew’s embarrassing, sycophantic praise for each other, like a daisy chain in print form). You can check them all out over there (and some are spoilery), but this is undisputed highlight:
According to whoever wrote the production notes, it was “stunningly easy” to get both Paula Abdul and LaToya Jackson to use Mexican gardeners (who were really actors) as chairs, despite Abdul’s claims to the contrary. “Both were very game,” allegedly.
Of course they were. I try to avoid American Idol as much as humanly possible, but every time I hear Paula Abdul talk she sounds like Kirk Douglas on a whippet binge, which is generally a good indication that a person’s taking a stiff cocktail of reality-avoidance pills (not that there’s anything wrong with that). Bottom line, if you can’t feel your face, you’re probably not going to feel a Mexican’s shame. Poor guy. Sources say he was so embarrassed that he told Abdul, “Ju can seet right here long as ju want, chica,” while pointing at his crotch and making kissing sounds. True story.
Cheech Marin is set to direct and star in a script he wrote himself called Angel of Oxnard, about a guy named Angel who works for the Home Shopping Network and whose face appears on a tortilla. I swear I didn’t make that up. Thing is, Cheech is the kind of lovable, pudgy little cherub that advertisers love. He’s like the Mexican Dave Thomas. Therefore, I don’t think seeing his face on a tortilla would freak me out that much. I say they re-cast this with Danny Trejo.
“Deedju order sometheen, puto?” Terrifying.
