MPAA Censors Guantanamo Poster
Posted May 18th 2006 12:31PM by Martha Fischer
Just a day after we reported on censorship in other parts of the world (assuming, perhaps, that films in the US escape such restrictions) comes the news that American authorities are getting into the act, as well. Fan-freaking-tastic.
According to press reports, the MPAA has objected to the poster that Roadside Attractions was planning to use to promote their American release of [movie] The Road to Guantanamo.
The original poster depicts a prisoner hanging from chained wrists, with a burlap bag over his head nothing more, said Roadside president Howard Cohen, than a reflection of what it is we are doing to people in Guantanamo.

Interesting blog site with lots of links to GB issues and the film.

It seems the other Guantanamo Bay Hypography thread has been closed by the moderator as "it has gone on too long" A bit like Guantanamo Bay really;. which just keeps going on despite world-wide condemnation.
I wonder, if the Olympics were being held in USA this year, if we would have the same protests with the Torch Relay as we are seeing with the Chinese Olympic torch relay. I think it would have been worse.
(The Canberra run was hailed as a"success" as the route was halved, the police barricaded the roads, 10,000 loyal flag waving Chinese students were bussed in from all over and police outnumbered Tibetans.)
Please don't approach a flame, be polite in you condemnation, blind patriotism, anger, disgust, as moderators apparently can't pull you into line
