Iran may sue Hollywood over several movies :D

These people are wrapped a little too tight. They want an apology while the most of the world wants to see their nuclear missile program shut down and they sufferer severe economic sanctions.

"When a delegation of Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences visited Iran for a conference in 2009, a cultural adviser to Ahmadinejad demanded an apology for Hollywood's "insults and libel."


There is no venue for this possible lawsuit except in a looney bin.
 
hey, if a lady can spill coffee on herself and win, so can Iran.


wonder if hollywood will make a movie out of the court room drama

hehe no...Here are some facts regarding that clowns coffee.... "Stella Liebeck of Albuquerque, New Mexico, was in the passenger seat of her grandson's car when she was severely burned by McDonalds' coffee in February 1992. Liebeck, 79 at the time, ordered coffee that was served in a styrofoam cup at the drivethrough window of a local McDonalds.

After receiving the order, the grandson pulled his car forward and stopped momentarily so that Liebeck could add cream and sugar to her coffee. (Critics of civil justice, who have pounced on this case, often charge that Liebeck was driving the car or that the vehicle was in motion when she spilled the coffee; neither is true.) Liebeck placed the cup between her knees and attempted to remove the plastic lid from the cup. As she removed the lid, the entire contents of the cup spilled into her lap.

The sweatpants Liebeck was wearing absorbed the coffee and held it next to her skin. A vascular surgeon determined that Liebeck suffered full thickness burns (or third-degree burns) over 6 percent of her body, including her inner thighs, perineum, buttocks, and genital and groin areas. She was hospitalized for eight days, during which time she underwent skin grafting. Liebeck, who also underwent debridement treatments, sought to settle her claim for $20,000, but McDonalds refused."

Mcdonalds' Coffee Case

and?

she spilled coffee on her self accidentally and won b/c the coffee was hot.

Iran was offended, if they can prove mental anguish, they win.

krist on a krutch

They really do have a case.
 
Did anyone actually READ the whole article? If you haven't had a good laugh yet this morning, I suggest it. They actually referred to the 1980 election as 'a coup d'etat' ...... as if there had been no reason anyone in their right mind would've voted to get rid of Carter.

And of course their entire POV ignores the fact that any nation's embassy is considered territory of that nation and the refusal to restore our embassy in Tehran to us went a long way towards being 'causus belli' in itself - never mind our people being held prisoner!

Seems to me A'jad's head is more likely to wind up on a chopping block than poor Affleck's!!!

I do agree that 'Pearl Harbor' was a lousy movie, though. Possibly the only indisputable grain of fact in the whole write-up.....but killing the guy for making it?
 
Iran can suck it.



For human rights abuses against the Christians in that nation, for illegally holding a Christian pastor who was sentenced to 6 yrs in their worst prison because he wanted to open up an orphanage. Oh what a crime! How about the ex FBI agent the State Dept hasn't opened their mouth about once who is still being held in an Iranian prison for over six years? How about Israel sues them for forming the terrorist group Hizbollah in their own backyard and financing terror attacks against Israelis since 1948? Start there!

Well said, this is just public theater meant for internal Iranian consumption.

Funny part is they're known for making up all kinds of stories and holding conventions about the Holocaust and 9-11 being fake, and spreading other false propaganda and hate across the world, and here they are upset about a film.

Yes. The irony of it all. Incredible.
 
I dunno if I'd mess with the Persians. Keep in mind they figured out a way to breed homosexuality out of their strain, so these guys might be capable of anything. So let's extradite Affleck and anyone else in Hollywood responsible for the flick and let them throw themselves on the mercy of the Iranian justice system.

Who knows?...It might make for a good movie some day.
