"Bruce Almighty" banned in Malaysia
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...malaysia_movie
Not even Jim Carrey's huge comedy hit Bruce Almight stands a chance in Malaysia, which continues to add to its growing list of movies that have fallen afoul of the censors.
The government minister called for the comedy to be banned, deeming it offensive to Muslims. The minister, who is responsible for religious affairs, said the theme of the movie isn't "appropriate."
In the film, Carrey is challenged by God to take over the running of the world to see if he can do a better job of it. The minister says "we cannot equate ourselves with God almighty even as a joke."
Films previously banned from the country, due to moral or religious grounds, include Daredevil, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and Zoolander.
dear lord.... some countries are still in the middle ages... or are some Islamic states really that narrow minded?...
