South Park -- couldn't happen to a nicer guy
Interesting article about Saddam's recent movie viewing from
The Sun Online:
Saddam's cartoon torture
TOPPLED dictator Saddam Hussein is being tormented in jail – by being forced to watch HIMSELF in South Park.
The evil tyrant is portrayed in the movie version of the cult cartoon as the Devil’s gay lover.
South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut was banned in Iraq on its launch in 1999 for showing Saddam as a homosexual.
The film featured him trying to take over the world with Satan.
He is currently behind bars in Iraq as he stands trial on charges of genocide.
South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone yesterday revealed Saddam is made to watch the movie “repeatedly” by the US Marines guarding him.
Speaking at Edinburgh TV Festival, Matt said: “I have it on pretty good information from the Marines on detail in Iraq that they showed him the movie.
“That’s really adding insult to injury. I bet that made him really happy.”
And in other news:
The American animators also confirmed that Tom Cruise threatened to pull out of all publicity for Mission Impossible III unless Paramount, which also makes South Park, axed a repeat showing of an episode lampooning him.
It showed a Scientologist character called Tom Cruise struggling to come out as gay. Cruise was dumped by Paramount last week.
This is the Sun after all so a grain of salt is needed but still...
Heh... Bootylicious!
