Iran's Parliament is quite unhappy over the audacity of three ministers inviting the evil Hollywood team into their pure house. The punchline? The men who just five short days ago demanded apologies for 300 and The Wrestler must now apologize themselves.
The demands for apologies in Iran's Mad Mullah Sewing Circle just never end, it seems.
What do you expect from a nightmare regime that offends every civilized person beyond belief with its brutality and blood thirst, yet takes violent offense at every slight real or imagined?
From PressTV:
Majlis Summons Ministers Over Hollywood Team
Iran's parliament summoned Iranian ministers over the invitation of Hollywood figures from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The parliament cultural commission summoned Iranian Foreign Minster Manoucher Mottaki, Intelligence Minister Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejeie and Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance Mohammad-Hossein Saffar-Harandi to explain the presence of a Hollywood team in Tehran.
"The issue should be clarified to see who has invited the Hollywood delegation to Tehran and why," said Javad Aryanmanesh, a member of the commission, on Tuesday.
"The Iranian identity has been insulted by Hollywood," he went on to say.
Uh-oh.
The AMPAS Team may get off with only a slap on the wrist for their egregious cultural affronts.
But if the Mad Mullahs of the Majlis are really irate with those three ministers who invited the worst of the Ziono-Hollywoodist conspirators into their Islamist Paradise of Purity, look out!
Heads could roll.
Literally.
There's a death penalty in Iran for apostasy that's rather broad.
Not that they really need any reason at all.
Now THAT'S Entertainment!
Here's more in-depth coverage on the story from the horse's mouth itself, the Tehran Times.
Meanwhile, AMPAS prez Sid Ganis continues parading The Grand Illusion.
From PressTV:
Speaking at a seminar on film making in Tehran, Academy President Sid Ganis declares no film capable of distorting the Iranian culture or civilization.
Maybe, Sid.
But there's plenty of twisted Iranian fascist propagandists in Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Reichministry of Culture that can distort film in very uncivilized ways.
More from Academy prez Sid Ganis, who can't seem to find his ministerial escort at the moment:
President of the US Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), Ganis praised the Iranian civilization and said the film 300 was based on a comic strip; its audience was not interested in the film's credibility.
He also said Iran has the potential of making “big movies” if it can attract investment to cinematic marketing.
Inspector Clouseau is looking smarter all the time.
Investment to cinematic marketing?
What for, Sid?
So they can make more of these Oscar-quality documentaries?
Besides, how are you going to do that when Iran is under sanction by the UN and half the nations on earth?
Not only that, the EU and many others are proposing even tougher sanctions right now!
Hell, even Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is taking off the rose-colored glasses!
And as far as financing for the arts goes, the self-admitted terror-exporting Iranian dictatorship seems to have plenty of pocket change lying around to afford shipping truckloads of expensive armor-piercing EFPs that have killed close to 200 American soldiers in Iraq.
Technical support included.
Not to mention all the weapons and rockets to Gaza and Lebanon.
They seem flush with cash to me!
They should be.
They're one of the leading producers and exporters of oil in the world!
It also seems to me the Iranian thugocracy has a far different concept of making blockbusters than we do.
It is to laugh.
If it weren't so bloody serious, that is.
Curious.
Will those three fascist apology-demanding 'culture' ministers of the un-Islamic Republic of Iran be joining their Ziono-Hollywoodist conspirator guests for dinner?
Perhaps.
But coming down for breakfast may be another matter altogether for Iran's film industry stalwarts.
Compared to the real extremists, they're Iran's Hollywood Left!
This is Joker Territory. I couldn't have scripted this better!
Dreams really DO come true in Hollywood!
Good Night,Y'all!
Champagne Wishes and Caviar Dreams!
