Ahmadinejad rebuffs Oliver Stone's offer!

| | Comments (0) |

Yes, after all of Oliver Stone's bread-breaking with Fidel, he's still just a "part of the Great Satan." The director approached the Nazi-ish Iranian leader about making a documentary, ostensibly about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's vivid life as a civil engineer and Khomeini puppet, and was reportedly told to go pound sand:

"...Mr Ahmadinejad, who has often criticised Hollywood as a bastion of pro-Zionist interests, was unimpressed by Stone's radical credentials after viewing the films.

'While it is true that Oliver Stone is considered to be among the opposition in the US, the opposition is still part of the Great Satan,' the president's media adviser, Mahdi Kalhor, told the semi-official Fars news agency.

'We believe that the American cinema system is devoid of all culture and art and is only used as a device. In the last two years, the global arrogance [Iranian shorthand for the US and Britain] has made a lot of effort to portray their own image of Ahmadinejad, not the one which exists in reality. Hollywood and other Zionist media react to phenomena they don't like through different processes.'"
