Bizzare Iranian video on Disney

[tiggerfan]

Ok, words escape me on this one

YouTube - Pirates of the Caribbean - Zionist Influence?

[Alchimedes]

Pirate's of the Carribean Dead Man's Chest is a Propaganda film?
Now I have heard it all. Ridiculous.

[TraceCub]

Give me a and a !

I guess we're all s, huh?

[aimster]

WTF?

That is the most screwed up thing I have ever heard.

[sealsm]

Strange, strange, strange.

I remember hearing this last Summer and it completely cracked me up. Disney, with it's Zionist board, is out to destroy Arabian culture with it's evil Pirates of the Caribbean.



Considering their President wants to blow Israel off the map, denies that the holocaust ever happened, and can't wait to establish a new Islamic empire, this is hardly surprising. Sad that the Iranian people can't see how big of an idiot he appears to EVERYONE outside of Iran. Here's hoping the moderates of their country can take over leadership from this maniac.

[Alice's Wonderland]

WOW. I mean WOW.

[DsnyFvr]

I have heard this before..nothing but Iran's hatred toward Israel.

[Bibliophile]

I missed the part about POTC espousing pro-Zionist ideals? It seems to me, like they're just using the popularity of POTC to slam Israel and Disney.

There was a topic about this here, last summer.

Hmmm, now why would Iranians care about the
number of Jewish people on Disney's board of directors?
Seems as though Iranian's have something against
Jewish people. There's a big surprise.

Yeah, with the percentages they gave, that equates
to exactly ONE Jewish person on Disney's Board. And
according to this Iranian report : "This Clearly Influences
the content of this large company's productions, as well
as it's policies and guidelines."

Then they say "The Aladdin animated film series is one example
of Disney creations that cast Arabs in a negative light....

yada yada yada . . . . .

Cinema is another subtle weapon, in the hands of those that
support this corrupt ideology (referring to Jewish people)"

The hatred of Jewish people by the people in control of the
broadcasting in Iran is undeniable, and equalled only by
the Nazi forces of WW2.

These type of reports would have one believing that a pirate
Capt Jack Sparrow is some sort of Jewish prophet and that
he's in the Torah.

Unfortunately, this intolerance of the Jewish people goes back
in history longer than any other.

It's really surprising that Iran can be so upset with Jewish
population on a small little strip of land, on the Medditeranean Sea.

As for Disney's "corrupt" Aladdin movie series, They talk as if
Disney hangs Aladdin and Jasmine on a daily basis.

As for Disney's "corrupt" Aladdin movie series, They talk as if
Disney hangs Aladdin and Jasmine on a daily basis.

That's the secret show in Adventureland behind the Tiki Room.

It goes by pretty quick. The first sentence she utters is:

"Zionist ideology uses all means to impose its cultural control" followed by the diatribe regarding the number of jews on the Disney board.

The story was aired back in July shortly after the movie was released.

I try not to be shocked by things like this anymore. But this thread did remind my of something that happened once while I was working at Blockbuster Video. On the TV monitors we were looping the Aladdin movie and some woman came in and asked us to change the video. Because she will not bring her son in if that was on, her reason was "because we're deeply religious".

[PirateMunkee]

Hmmmmm. Pirates take over other ships and loot it for all it's worth. Bush takes over other countries and loot it for all it's worth in oil. I'm gaining a new respect for Capn' Bush er I mean President Bush.

[DisneyDude2006]

Wow not I've heard everything.
