Its certainly heading in that direction.

I haven't seen it either, but it appears that the boxoffice response is somewhat underwhelming.

I don't even have an interest in seeing it, but from what I've read, isn't it essentially a rehash of Borat with a different character?

from what I understand, yes, and I didn't see "Borat" either. I guess it's "borat" with a gay slant.
At one point, "Bruno" is in an Army barracks, with two sargents (I believe) making him scrub the floor with a toothbrush. He is wearing a belt that does not conform to the Army uniform.
Sgt: "What is that belt? DG?"
Bruno: "DG.....Dolce and Gabana...hello!?!?!"
Sgts: "Hello?"
::)

Well, it mostly goes beyond that, and it is about sexual orientation.
MAJOR SPOILERS
One of the most famous "incidents" in the movie is where they staged a WWF Wrestling showdown called "Sraight Dave's Man on Man Smackdown" or something like that in Arkansas. The advertisied it around town as a $5 admission, $1 beer, and the promises of scantily clad women. What it then turns into on purpose is sudden gay sex with the host Bruno dressed as "Straight Dave" and his "lover" in the ring, and it's quite explicit. Kissing, licking eachothers nipples, going for a blow job, etc. The crowd becomes absolutely unglued and furious. Violence breaks out. It's amazing they weren't killed.
There are also lots of other over the top gay sex scenes depicted, that are meant to be quite in your face. Lots of dildo action, leather play, and even a champaign bottle up the butt.
However, it's quite funny when they're handcuffed together in leather gear and they go running after the Westboro Baptist Church members, and they are freaking out trying to run from them. :laugh:
