Title: Swordfish
Post by: WardoggKC130FE on June 08, 2010, 04:17:58 AM
So I am watching this movie on an Arabic TV station....which made me giggle at the small amount of irony thats there....anyways in the one scene where you meet the super hacker Stan, they show the name of the town.  Midland Texas.  Well because it is on an Arabic station the whole movie has Arabic subtitles.  So when the screen flashed, Midland Texas, they put it in Arabic down below it.  And I realized that I just saw the word Texas written in Arabic, and I died a little bit inside.  And then went and threw up.

...You felt sick because a foreigner dared to transpose the name 'Texas' so it could be read by the people watching the film?

تكساس

Feel sick again?

You don't know that. It probably said "Dookieland".

Haven't you ever seen a fictitious fantasy map? They often have things like "here there be dragons" scribbled in unexplored places. The joke here being that the Muslims don't care about real dangers, but do care about dissenters.

Ahhh i see.  Apparently i haven't seen said maps.   What really cracks me up is that the muslims hate the west and the infidels that reside there...but they love the shit out of our Honey Smacks (which i saw in the store here) and apparently our movies.

No, all that's written over my avatar is 'Texas' but in Arabic script. The crescent moon seemed appropriate. I support the taxi driver who had a great theological debate with me the other night and then undercharged me, I support the dentist who rebuilt my teeth after white chavs smashed them, I support the doctor who kept me alive when I was a baby.

Now if I had any of these symbols as my avatar you might have a point.

Chinese White Terror

White Terror (Chinese: 白色恐怖; pinyin: B?is? Kǒngb?) in relation to modern Chinese history is associated with the Kuomintang under Chiang Kai-shek.

On April 12, 1927, Chiang carried out purge of Communists from the Kuomintang in Shanghai and began large-scale killings. Chiang's forces turned machine guns on 100,000 workers taking to streets, killing more than 5000 people. Throughout April 1927 in Shanghai, more than 12,000 people were killed. The killing in Shanghai drove most of the Communists out of the urban cities and into the rural countryside.[3]

The greatest slaughter took place in the countryside, however. The White Terror in China took millions of lives, most of them in the rural areas.[4] The Chinese Communist Party was virtually extinguished. At the beginning of 1927, the Chinese Communist Party had about 60,000 members. By the end of the year, no more than 10,000 remained.

The "White Terror" continued throughout the Chinese Civil War, and also resulted in the assassination of a number of prominent Communists, leftists and democrats such as Wen Yiduo.
