Hollywood: "We, the correct-thinking people of Hollywood, are ready to meet with your cultural elites on a completely private initiative for educational and creative exchange and with no political agenda."

Iran: "Fuck you."

Quote:
"(Iranian) cinema officials will only have the right to have official sessions with... Hollywood movie makers when they apologise to the Iranians for their 30 years of insults and slanders," Javad Shamaghdari said.

"The Iranian people and our revolution has been repeatedly unjustly attacked by Hollywood," he said, citing '300' and recent Oscar nominated movie 'The Wrestler' as among offending films.

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.

Which proves that all Americans also want to nuke Iran because Cheney said so. Amazing how wackos become the opinion of all others.

Don't all religious people think God is on "their" side?
