Well, I think we all saw this coming.  The word on the web is that we’ve already had our first “Bruno”-related lawsuit, and the movie is still some way from hitting the big screen.  A lady by the name of Richelle Olson claims that she now needs a wheelchair or cane to move her litigious self from place to place due to an incident involving Sacha Baron Cohen.

The story, as far as we know it, is this: SBC, playing the role of Bruno, somehow made his way into a charity bingo tournament in Palmdale, California and ended up calling the numbers.  Naturally, the mood soon turned sour as Bruno began launching f-biscuits left, right and centre, and before long the aforementioned Richelle Olson decided it was time to get involved.  Olson, whose age and alibi for playing bingo have not been revealed, struggled to pull the mic from Bruno, and claims to have subsequently been attacked by the camera crew for “at least a minute”.

As the story goes, she then ran from the stage and, in a manner not described in any detail, fell and cracked her nut open on a concrete slab.  Somehow, the alleged brain bleeding which ensued left her with injuries which have been valued at more than $25,000.

I would make some sort of closing comment, but I think my tone of accusatory assholery made the point well enough.
