Yes Man, 300, Same American Boat

Rating: 6/10 (13 January 2009)

When people make comments like: "Americans can't even locate themselves on a world map," you might think of it as a racist remark. But after 2500 years, Hollywood can't tell the difference between, Persians or Iranians with Arabs. I know you don't care because they're all darn terrorists, right? And it's so amusing to dress an East Indian woman, Anna Khaja, in Arabic Hijab and ask Jim Carrey to locate her on "persianwifefinder.com" and name her "Fernoosh" who asks for hot sauce with an artificial accent. Just to remind you that Iranians are terrorists, later, Jim is caught by the airport security, because he's been seen with "Fernoosh". The movie 300 is on the same boat that animates Persians as blood-thirsty savages who killed for pleasure and it was up to 300 Spartans to protect the world from these beasts so they wouldn't come back again 2500 years later and target Twin Towers with a commercial flight. When did we see Iranian and American commercial flight conflict? Ah, yeah I remember; it was July 4, 1998 that American Navy "mistook" a civilian jetliner with a F-14 and shot it down killing all 290 passengers and crew aboard, including 66 children. You didn't hear much about that on CNN, did you? Or perhaps there's not much in history books about Cyrus the Great (a Persian guy) cylinder that was written in 539BC and it has been hailed as the world's first declaration of human rights. Well, for now, the Iranians, Persians are the bad guys so it's OK to dress East Indians, Afghans, Arabs, Kurds, Turks, and pretty much any brown skinned with a funny accent in a movie and make them pay for what Osama did few years back. As an Iranian, I don't have any problem with thatthat's "how the cookie crumbles" these days, but for the ones who don't know, please buy a map and find Iran before labeling "them Iranians" terrorists.
