I can see being pissed off that you wasted $9.50 on a ticket if you didn’t like it. I can see being pissed off that the popcorn in the theater was too expensive. But this… THIS… this is fucking retarded. I’d like to propose a letter, an open letter, to these protesting Iranians:
“Dear Iranians with nothing better to do,
300 was a work of friggin’ fiction. It isn’t historical. Persia didn’t have monsters, just in case you mistook the film to be historical. Perhaps Iran should start focusing on teaching history in schools as opposed to supporting sociopaths like your “presidente”. Fiction. It’s a work of fiction, you bumbling idiots.
And since when are you immune to criticisms anyway? Since when is Persia off-limits to parody? Fuck, since when is ISLAM off-limits? need I remind you of the bench-flipping riots your homeboys started over the CARTOONS a few years ago. You are not immune to criticism or parody, just like everyone else. The fact that you’re prone to crying over cartoons and fictional sword and sorcery movies is fucking lame.
“Wah.”
Maybe you should start focusing all that enery towards world hunger, poverty, corruption or suffering? No? Maybe? Or will you store it up to protest (read: riot) is various cities because none of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in their upcoming movie were Muslim, and therefore it’s Western propaganda?
With love,
Grim
P.S.: I think your “prophet” was full of shit and “allah” is a myth. Are ya gonna cry now? Riot again? Write letters? What?”
Now how can I get this put on pamphlets and dropped all over Iran? Maybe I should start with all those Iranian-American (hah, I bet they don’t even see themselves as American) bloggers’ sites!
