This article was posted in one of the right nut magazines, frontpagemag or something as silly.

Oh yeah, and i'm pretty sure you are breaking the copyright law by reproducing it without giving credit.

And no, it ain't API. They do news, not slander.

What planet do you live on that only has One story per Newspaper.  Would it be to difficult to understand that the way they receive these stories is through something called wire services. Such as UPI (United Press International) API (Associated Press International). You can subscribe, for a small fee, like I do and get all the API and UPI stories that are on the wire. You see newspapers pick and choose what they want to print, this way I get all the stories and decide for myself. Incidently I was a Chief Editor for Stars And Stripes. Don't believe me, Who gives a S___.

Excellant form!  When all else fails go with the strawman/insult combo!  :aok


In what way do you equate two simple factual statements an Insult? I Took your remark as an insult on what I find Important.

OH. brother.... Please post where I said the French Government anywhere. I said France because that is where they will not show the movie. If it was Hoboken I would have mentioned them.

Your title deliberately implied France as a whole had censored the passion.
I was merely pointing out the fact (you should look that word up) it wasn't french policy that this movie be banned for exhibition.
 
Perhaps your trolling should be a little more specific...
