| Indiana Jones movie upsets commies |
| 2008-05-25 |
| Members of Russia's Commie Party are calling for a nationwide boycott of the new Indiana Jones movie, saying it aims to undermine communist ideology and distort history. "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" stars Harrison Ford as an archaeologist in 1957 competing with an evil KGB agent, played by Cate Blanchett, to find a skull endowed with mystic powers. It hit Russian screens Thursday. Commie Party members in St. Petersburg said on a web site this week that the Soviet Union in 1957 "did not send terrorists to the States," but launched a satellite, "which evoked the admiration of the whole world." Moscow Commie lawmaker Andrei Andreyev said Saturday "it is very disturbing if talented directors want to provoke a new Cold War." |

| #5 by the way - it was pretty good. Not the best of the Indy films, and not even better than Iron Man (which I thought was great), but pretty good. Can't wait for The Dark Knight now.... |

| #4 Someone should clue the commies that it is just make-believe and that no one in their right mind takes Hollywood seriously anyway. Not to get their panties bunched up over nothing. |

| #3 saw it yesterday - the commies that are crying are ridiculous, and should be ridiculed for their thin skin. |

| #2 "did not send terrorists to the States," but launched a satellite, "which evoked the admiration of the whole world." I'm sure today the people of free Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, etc feel the same way. /sarcasm off |

| #1 Some director could make a fortune by making a movie showing the horrors of Soviet communism, with a triple X rating for violence. Russians have a deep morbid streak already, and probably have a lot of repressed hatred for the communists. |
