Banned In Greece! Oh, the days of censorship.

Well, not yet.

But two Greek lawyers are viewing the film ALEXANDER to see if the main character is portrayed as gay.

And if it looks like Alexander is portrayed as having had sex with men -- something which the lawyers say there is no official document saying ever happened, mind you -- they will sue to keep ALEXANDER off of Greece's screens.

All 80 of them.

Really. 80 screens.

And, apparently, the Lawyers have never heard of DVDs or BitTorrent. Proverbial pissing in the wind.

Remember when we used to worry about censorship? Now we just worry about stupidity trying to enforce censorship with draconian and ultimately fruitless laws.
