Bruno has been banned, and will not see release in Ukraine.

Sacha Baron Cohen’s hit mockumentary “Bruno,” about an outrageous gay Austrian fashion journalist, has been banned in Ukraine because it is “immoral.”

The country’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism described shots of sexual organs, homosexual intercourse and bad language as obscene and improper.

The ban — in a former Soviet country that has struggled to create European-oriented institutions following its pro-democracy Orange Revolution five years ago — is likely linked to fears that the film could offend deeply religious sections of the population.

It is true, this film is raunchy, dirty and filthy and co-incidentally hilarious. But it’s pretty clearly not for all audiences, hence the hard R-Rating. I’m a little surprised at the ban, but it’s only more publicity for this ridiculous movie.
