You really couldn't make this up... :rolleyes:
Really... what the fuck is wrong with these cunts??? Is there a limit to their selfishness, greed and stupidity? :rolleyes:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/12/03/wpeng03.xmlIt should be the ideal family film for Christmas: the animated adventures of a colony of penguins singing and dancing on the ice floes of Antarctica.
But just days ahead of its British release, Happy Feet is struggling to avoid an iceberg of its own, after Right-wing critics accused it of targeting youngsters with anti-mankind messages.
Commentators in the United States, where the film opened last month, have labelled the plot – penguins struggling to survive man's wrecking of their ecosystem – as pro-green propaganda hidden in a children's adventure.
advertisementFox News presenter Neil Cavuto said: "What I found offensive is that they shove this in a kids' movie – you hear the penguins are starving because of mean old man, mean old companies."

And the gays, can't forget the gays.
I find it offensive that the people complaining about this dont think it's a good idea to demonstrate to young children that our environment needs protecting. protecting from us...
I watched Watership Down as child - fantastic film, but it didn't lead me to issue a fatwah against building developers.
Frankly its about the same level of loonieness as second class hack writers such as Philip Pullman criticising the Narnia books because they're Christian propoganda. And then the CofE getting in a hump because of it.
they are? :chin: I never noticed when I read them as a youngun'
I also liked Phillip Pullman's books too.
To be fair neither did I or hundreds of thousands other. I read them because they were a damn good aventure story (at least the few ones were). They are a Christian allegory, but most children don't read them like that.
do you think they were purposely written as christian allegory? or are the parallels just drawn by people who wanted to make them?
I dont mind that they were, the bible's a nice story. so long as they weren't intended on corrupting the minds of children all is good.
CS Lewis wrote them as an allegory. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is based on the resurrection, the Magician's Nephew is based on Genesis. I don't think CS Lewis made any pretence that they were anything but parables to Christianity
Re-reading them when I was older I actually think they are made more interesting by the parable. When I first read them all I saw was an evil witch and magical animals and heros battling evil monsters.
I'm not convinced any reading corrupts children, as they're more sophisticated than many adults think. I'm not sure loads of children are reading Harry Potter today and demanding to be sent to boarding school and I'm not sure loads of children read CS Lewis and then went out and burnt heathens (and to be fair to CS Lewis he would have said if they did they'd missed a central theme of his books).
it's interesting to know though
Supprised?
That was the most obvious anti-pollution propaganda movie ever.
I nearlly pissed myself laughing as yet another crappy PC game turned hordes of children off Europe for life (and don't get me started on the comic book the EU once gave me at a conference)
Yeah, but at least the Sun is entertaining.
