Kuwait has banned Fahrenheit 9/11 for portraying the government's pals in the Saudi royal family in an unflattering light.

    Well, they are undemocratic. 🙂

  2. anon   21 years ago

    Since when Kuwait cared about the Saudi Royal family? My bet is that they banned it because of its crticisim of Bush.

  3. Xrlq   21 years ago

    Kuwait never claimed to be a democracy. You must be confusing them with their neighbor, Iraq.

  4. Will   21 years ago

    Its nice to know that the American-Conservative dream is alive and well in the Middle East...

  5. Andy   21 years ago

    And we saved their ass why?

  6. Will   21 years ago

    And we saved their ass why?

    It's called the Carter Doctrine.

    Fahrenheit 9.11: a temperature below which anti-american, commie runts will still excuse one of their own for yelling "FIRE!" in a crowded theatre

  8. chthus   21 years ago

    They also banned "The Passion of the Christ," unlike many other Middle Eastern countries. Maybe the censors just have a heavy hand there. Or maybe the Bush administration called up on the secret-censor phone and had them ban it so that support for the Iraq war in Kuwait wouldn't drop from 80% ot 75% due to people seeing the film. This affect would surely ripple and cause Bush to lose the upcoming election.

  9. JDOG   21 years ago

    "Fahrenheit 9/11" should have been banned in the U.S. Certainly not for content, but for Copyright infringement regarding the movie's title. Moore could have just renamed it something else. Ray Bradbury complained to no avail about this.
