Sorry if this was posted before, actually I'm not, I don't care. I just found it funny.

They must have watched the movie in the first place to know it was offensive.

Did they really think that Hollywood USA was going to make a movie portraying them in a positive light?

When that happens, that is when they should know something is up.

One of the hottest girls I've ever met is Persian.

They need to get over it.

North Korea threated a nuclear war on the U.S. over the game Ghost Recon 2, when they found out they were going to be portrayed as the enemy.

Silly bastards.

Yeah, Americans are some dumb f****. Hell we even have a T.V. show that directly demonstrates that. "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader."

But thats kind of the point, its not protraying them. Its protraying an ancient civilization long gone. Its like people who try to use the Inquisition as evidence to how evil modern christians are.

Yeah, but when people want to critcize Islam, they always use history to as reference.

Also that civilization is not long gone. It evolved into present day Iran.

I'm jealous of the heightened sensitivities of these people.
I'm still on my life-long quest just to find a movie that actually Scares me, like Exorcist, Jaws and the Shining did when I was a kid, before I was jaded.

I can't even imagine what it must be like to be "outraged" by a movie.
So strange. So foreign. I'm not even outraged by Salo.
'Cause it's still just...a movie, that a handful of people wrote, and directed, and played pretend with....

 

[Sun_Down]

Yeah, Americans are some dumb f****.

I think the people getting their panties in a bunch over a movie are the dumb****s.

Seriously, why can't people just watch the damn movie? It's not supposed to re-write history, nor could it. It's a movie.

I was outraged by Universal Solider: The Return.

The Star War Prequels.

 

[Erzengel]

I think instead of ending world hunger, AIDS or war. I think we should really make steps to ending World Get Your Panties Out of a Bunch or WGYPOB.

Because of the incessant b'tching I hear from groups about everything under the sun.

300 portray Iranians in a poor light.

Snickers advocates homosexuality.

SHH promotes idiocy.

x 1,000

 

[Mr Sparkle]

meh, I'm guessing it's some people that get outraged and gets blown out of proportion, like any supposed outrage.

 

[BRUTAL]

I was outraged by Universal Solider: The Return.

Once again our film preferences coincide...

A Van Damme should consist of 3 things:

- More than one scene of doing the splits for no apparent reason...
- Licking the boobies of the designated hot woman with big hair...
- Copious amounts of bad guy dong punching...

This film lacked all three

Please someone, Make this a thread!

Clearly, you're going about this the wrong way...

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

That'd be so much cooler.

"Iran outraged by Star Wars Saga finale"
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke in harsh terms at a press conference 2 days ago.
"What did Padme die of?!? A broken HEART?!? Why did the American George Lucas not just have her get injured and die of Complications?!?"
