Malaysia calls for 'Bruce Almighty' ban

kj · 29th July 2003, 08:26 PM

"It's not appropriate to show the film in this country. We cannot equate ourselves with God -- even as a joke," Abdul Hamid Zainal, a minister in the Prime Minister's Department, was quoted as saying.

Do you agree, or is this just going too far?

I've not seen the film yet, but i really want to.

No wonder theres so many nutters from the side of the world willing to blow themselfs up because there force fed this religiouse crap.

they built it up to be a great comedy when really it was about abusing your powers in away.

i think it was a pretty alright film
all this shit about banning it is taking it too far

Bannin it is a little extreme,Fair enough if it goes against their beliefs, but just dont watch it then? Or is that 2 straight forward? Easy solution if ya dont agree with it ,dont watch it.

u can see ther argument - that a movie like this adds even more humour to the jk that is religion nowadays, but the fact that a senior person in ther government has actually got up and made a statement is extreme, if they dont agree then it is fair enough but to ban it completly is steppin into peoples rights for free speech etc. . .

then again i know bugger all
