Of course they did. It's an adaptation of a graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi that depicts the excesses of Iran's theocracy. The Iranian government protested that it "presented an unrealistic face of the achievements and results of the glorious Islamic Revolution in some of its parts." Of course it does.
I've got an idea. Let's show it as a double feature with "Schindler's List." They'd really like that, since the Holocaust was faked and all, according to their leader.
I don't really have anything to remark on this post.

Adam wants to do a public access show based on Waynes World. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Persia and Metropolis? So it's about Iranian Batman?
ReplyDeleteI love the double feature idea! It is possible that six million Jews and sixteen million Russians could just be making the whole thing up, right?
