Valley of the Propagandists: Turkey
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, we owe a gracious thanks to Turkey, whose film industry is following the lead of our own Hollywood in its over-the-top America-bashing. AP reports that Valley of the Wolves: Iraq, the most expensive Turkish movie ever made, will feature scenes that would make Michael Moore proud.
American soldiers shoot up a little boy in front of his mother. After storming a wedding and shooting people right and left, Americans drag whoever's left alive off to Abu Ghraib, where a Jewish American doctor cuts out their organs to sell to rich Westerners. You get the idea.
Billy Zane and Gary Busey star as evil Americans, a role that should keep Hollywood agents fielding more overseas calls than al Qaeda operatives.
The film will be distributed in a number of countries, including the USA. I can hardly wait to read the NY Times' glowing review.

Next thing you know, they'll be renaming French fries and boycotting wine and cheeses.
Oh, wait.
That's another country that bashed France.
Nevermind.

Oh wait, I can hear all of the "progressives", "lefties", and "liberals" making excuses already when we find out that the next major terror attack has "Turkish" citizens involved. It'll be our own fault you know, and of course things like American greed, W, and the neocons will figure big as a root cause. Propoganda films made for brain-dead zombies of the Islamic type will have nothing to do with it of course.
Let's not forget that the vast "majority" of Muslims just want peace, judging by the size of demonstrations lately... what't that you say... those aren't peace demonstrations... they want to kill us all... oh never mind.

I always liked Zane on screen. Thought he was greatly underrated. He did take some odd roles but an actor has to eat.
About this movie we don't really know much yet.
If Zane has politcally passed into the land of "anti-America" I hope he stays with his buddies over there. He will find out what happens if you differ with them.
Busey? I never thought there was anything he wouldn't do anyway.

Let's see if I got this right:
Idiots all over the Islamic world are ready to kill because of a few Danish cartoons.
Idiots rioted on the false news that a Koran got wet at Gitmo.
Idiots routinely spread the vilest form of anti-American and anti-semitic propaganda.
And somehow, WE are supposed to be "sensitive" to THEIR culture and religion?

I really do not recall any such drivel being produced in the US during WWII. Unless I count the broadcasts of Lord Haw Haw and Tokyo Rose.
I have to agree with Mike, why don't THEY grow up.

Zane...went from Titanic to this!
Busey...once starred in a movie called The Hand Job (I swear to God I am not making this up!), where he played "the Blind Master." So I guess that old supersition about self-abuse making you go blind is true.
And people think Bela Lugosi's career ended terribly after Ed Wood got a hold of him.

It is the time both for Muslims and Americans to understand that, being Anti-Bush does not mean being Anti-American. Nobody has to like President of the united States. Remember the times when Bill Clinton was the most popular figure in the Middle East.

Otto-Man, whatchu talkin bout Willis? I see that a sexual predator is appreciated in the land of goat and little boy fuckers (After all that's what fun sex is right?). And that is fine. I'm sure he was also appreciated for his pussy responses to murder of our citizens through out the world. I can see where you goat fucking swine would have a problem with W, and love our little boy sexual predator. Now go eat some goat pussy and fuck a little boy...you know for fun. Fuck you RR, you're a faggot.
Posted by: Donald at February 4, 2006 9:22 AM
I'm still trying to figure out what RR is talking about. What do French boycotts by Americans have to with this movie?
Care to elaborate on that RR? I haven't had a good laugh yet this morning.

Dear Donald,
Thanks for your kind opinions about Middle East. However, I can't stop thinking about Private England, her pervert boyfriend and other so called soldiers whom know nothing about honor.
Ohh that's right!!! They were the actions of a bunch of renegade soliders. But, when it comes to Muslim issues it is always actions of a whole society.
Donald, I lived in the States for 3.5 years. It is because of Americans like you, U.S gets itself in trouble.
Posted by: otto-man at February 4, 2006 10:26 AM
The U. S. gets itself in trouble, huh? Seems we finished the last two world war our Euro friends roped us into. And I'm guessing we will finish this next one as well. I see glass, lots and lots of glass...

Clinton more popular than Bush in the Middle East? Not really surprising, what did Clinton ever do about terrorism? Let's see, lob a few cruise missiles into an empty camp and bomb an aspirin factor. And then his wife made out with Suha Arafat after she accused the Israelis of gassing Palestinian children. Is Gee, no wonder terrorists prefer Clintons.

Actually, Otto-man you goat fucking piece of shit our "trouble" consists of reacting to a bunch of goat fucking animals who think people who don't "respect (Or submit or bow down and fear) your fucking religion...and I use that term very loosely goat fucker, should die. That people who write negatively about it should die. Meanwhile, the goat fuckers reserve the right to murder innocents, burn buildings, fuck more goats (And sorry bout forgetting the little boys for fun/women to procreate and and beat the shit out of, keep locked in burning buildings etc...), in the name of something the goat fuckers call "religion". How quaint. How very 300ADish. Sorry, blame whatever and whoever you want for your status as goat fucking/boy fucking/women terrorizing status, but you are what you are. Try a dog next time animal. Abu Graib is nothing to me, which is probably a good thing since I'm not a member of the government. It doesn't begin to compare to hacking people's heads off on TV. It doesn't compare burning little girls to death. It doesn't compare to not being able to perform basic maintenance on the oil rigs, you know the only reason you people know electricity exists. And it doesn't compare to fucking goats and boys! See that, Mr. Goat/boy fucker, is where you get yourself in trouble. I like that glass option most of all of course.

Oops, I forgot one other thing goat fucker involving Abu Graib. Those people are in a federal ass slamming prison. I think a letter of reprimand in their service records was more in line with their crime, but hey I'm just a small business owner. Meanwhile, in the muslim world, over FUCKING CARTOONS, the immature, stupid, non-developed mind (That's what happens when you only teach religious hatred in school) of kool aid drinking muslim fanatics are burning embassies and other enlightened follies. You know, whenever I read responses and thoughts of muslims regarding these issues, I always see what I feel are serious disconnects in their thought processes...i.e. THE INABLITY TO SEE THAT THERE IS A BIT OF A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KILLING EVERYBODY WHO DOESN'T THINK LIKE YOU, and oh, writing a cartoon, or allowing the bottom of a shoe to be seen, or not fucking goats and little boys for "fun" (In the non-muslim world, we frown on bestiality and pedophilia).

Donald:
Why don't you tell us how you really feel!!
I love it. because it's so true!!
Posted by: paul at February 13, 2006 11:07 PM
Dear Mike's America:
You should have all that printed on T-shirts and give one
to otto-man.
If the muslims hate western values so much, which don't include murdering other people because of their religion, why are they here? Sleeper cells??
Uncle Sam
