Yesterday while I was hanging out with some friends, we talked bout lots of MMOs (Massive Multiplayer Online). One after another the conversation steers towards 300. While one of my friend, praising 300 and me agreeing with him, my other friend frowned and words of anger came through him. Propaganda.

At the time of the conversation, I didn’t understand what is he angry about. After a few remarks I steer the conversation away from 300 and into Star Wars Galaxies. Safe. This kind of tension ruins the atmosphere.

In the night news, Iranian President makes a media conference regarding 300. Now I get it what and why he’s angry about. Its this. I searched the net for several remarks regarding this issue. The Iran 300 Complaint nearly convinces me of its arguments but I missed something. Whether its fictional or not, if it is related to real events and historical values, nothing good will come out of it. To be on the safe side, make sure its pure fiction (lord of the rings, eragon, star wars, etc).

For example, if someone makes a movie, with "fictional" stamp on it about christians being some sort of monster, I’m pretty sure there will be outburst all over the world, the same goes for Islam, and other religions. You make movies about Maorians(New Zealand natives) being some sort of devilish monster, I’m sure it’ll be banned at New Zealand. Labeling it "fictional" doesnt cut it.
