Title: Banned in Bahamas
Post by: Rønnaug on Apr 02, 2006, 05:39 PM
Brokeback is banned in the Bahamas because ( quote form a norwegian newspaper so feel free to correct if it is wrong :) )

"it contains extreme homosexuality  nudity and blasphemy" 
"it does not have any value for the people of Bahamas"

Perhaps we should send a Grand Inquisitor to the Bahamas, to root out 'heresy'.

yes it was banned in that country I read an article to that effect, and it wasn't very pretty to read, so I did not bother to copy and paste it here, it sums it up as we  are deviants and abomination that dared show this to the people of Black culture in such is an assault to their dignity, as they put it.

Hard to believe in these times but I guess it goes to show that the battle rages.

But cham, of course they don't!! Homosexuality has skipped the Bahamas, didn't you hear? and if they show BBM people might go and see it and become gay all of a sudden, and they can't allow THAT to happen!!!
