Guess who makes a cameo in Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest ambush comedy, Brüno? None other than Topeka’s favorite sons and daughters, the Westboro Baptist Church. Salon has an interesting story on why Brüno lacks the kick in the balls of Borat because no one in the film — aside from a brief passing with Fred Phelps’ flock — is outright homophobic, which is good for gays but bad for Brüno‘s boxoffice.
