OK, I have learned a bit more about Bruno...

The following is from Wikipedia March 27, 2009
"Bruno (sometimes written as Brüno) is a fictional character played by Sacha Baron Cohen who first appeared during short sketches on The Paramount Comedy Channel in 1998, before reappearing on Da Ali G Show. Following the success of Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, Universal Studios acquired the rights to make a Bruno film.

Bruno, who has no known surname, is a homosexual character claiming to be a reporter from an Austrian television station and interviews unsuspecting guests about topics such as fashion, entertainment, celebrities and homosexuality, with an emphasis on the latter as each interview progresses. The Austrian TV station's logo features the letters ÖJRF (revealed once as Österreichischer Jungen-Rundfunk, or in English, Austrian Boys' Broadcasting) inside a baby blue square, with a smaller purple square in the upper left quadrant. The name is similar to that of Austrian national broadcaster ORF (Österreichischer Rundfunk). The logo often appears on Bruno's show in the upper right corner of the screen. Bruno's segment on Da Ali G Show is called Funkyzeit mit Brüno (Funkytime with Brüno). (The show's theme song is "Crank It Up", by Scooter, from the album Our Happy Hardcore), with the "z" in "funkyzeit" pronounced with a stereotypical gay lisp."
