While I enjoy watchingMichael Bay's work on True Blood and found the work of Sacsha Baran's &amp;nbsp;Borat to be boorish, based on Sacsha Baran's penchant for offensive humor, I believe Bruno will too be boorish. But that is the impression of what he as an artist gives me, self-centered boorishness. Both works are pieces of art and both will have their fans and their detractors. While I may be a big fan of Michael Bay's art and not of Baran's, I respect other people's opinion that they consider Borat and Bruno to be art because Baran's work is art no matter how boorish and offensive I find it to be. While on the thought of offensive humor or characterizations, there is no group of human beings be it based on race, creed, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and etc. that has been immune to being stereotyped, made fun of, discriminated against, persecuted, or whatever since time immortal. &amp;nbsp;Therefore, based on the personal experiences, observations and education of artists; all art will be deemed offensive to one group or another--hence the saying 'art is in the eye of the beholder'.&lt;/p&gt;
