At first listen, the voice recording greeting callers to the Diamond Cinema in the Irish town of Navan sounds like it could be work of Sacha Baron Cohen himself -- with its accompanying YouTube presentation providing a viral boost for Brüno's second week in theaters. But it's much more fun to picture a real, beleaguered theater owner on the other end of the line, nursing a beer in one hand and a phone in the other, handing out refunds while advising callers to please, please avoid the "vile" and "offensive" comedy playing just down the hall. Hear it after the jump.
Maybe Universal needs to get this guy the kids' version of the film? Or was it just the whole gay thing? Let's work this out -- as Ireland goes, so goes Europe. Or something.
