Brilliant Marketing – Bruno Gets an NC-17

Every movie blog on the planet today is talking about the fact that Sacha Baron Cohen’s upcoming film, Bruno, received an NC-17 from the MPAA on its first pass through.

Would all the idiots screaming in horror, please move to the back of the bus?

They’ll adjust it, they’ll get their R-rating, but in the meantime, Bruno just got a TON of publicity on March 30th, almost 4 months before the film is released.

Nicely done, Universal marketing department.  Nicely done.
