HT: Drudge

And, of course, the H-wood Secretaries of State will be more than happy to comply.....

#5  What a bunch of maroons! If they would spend more time looking at the blondes in American movies, and less time murdering their neighbors, the world would be a better place.

#4  In 2007, the war epic '300', a smash hit in the United States for its gory portrayal of the Greco-Persian wars, drew the wrath of Iranians for showing their ancestors as bloodthirsty.

Substituting neo-nazis would have been a bit much.

Similarly 'The Wrestler', was booed in Iran and heavily criticised for the scene of breaking and tearing of the Iranian flag by the picture's star, 2009 Oscar nominee Mickey Rourke.

But state-sanctioned burning the American flag for television cameras is okay, right?

#3  Well, jeez - if that's all they want....

I'm sorry that Iran is run by loons, greedy dictators, and pedophile-worshippers (but I repeat myself....).

Will that do, DinnerJacket?
