Come along as we dive headfirst into a bottomless well of irony, in which the same degenerates who produce and support the production by others of the filthiest, most vicious child-abusing propaganda in the Middle East bemoan the mind-shaping influence of Nick Park’s claymation chickens. In its use of sophisticated discourse to further the most primitive ends, it’s the intellectual equivalent of Mark Steyn’s old column about Sudanese villagers spreading rumors about penis-shrinking witchcraft via cell phones and text messages. Don’t think this is a fluke bit of idiocy, either; these agenda-pushing deconstructions of Hollywood entertainment pop up regularly on Iranian TV, although as I said once before, the substance of the criticism tends to run pretty narrowly. Verdict: Slightly nuttier than the allegation that Disney is a Zionist stooge, but not as nutty as “Tom and Jerry” as a Jewish conspiracy. Click the image to watch.

Sky falling in Iran?

Well, since it’s put that way, how could anyone have been so blind not to see it?
And we think these loons can actually take over the world?
Markvike on June 12, 2008 at 11:29 AM
Wait, I thought the official Iranian position was that the Holocaust never happened. Me so confused….
mjk on June 12, 2008 at 11:29 AM
Chicken Run, really? Who even saw that? As if these people weren’t embarassing themselves enough already.

Iranian Film Critics: Welcome to the year 2000!

Coming soon, Iranian software experts give you a startling review of Windows XP!

I guess they’ve never heard of PETA. If anything, the prison imagery has a lot more to do with vegetarianism than with “Zionism.”
RBMN on June 12, 2008 at 11:34 AM
Take over, no. Kill a lot of people, yes.
Asher on June 12, 2008 at 11:35 AM
Hey now, watch it!! He’s actually serious about this. This is what passes for intellectual discourse in Iran. If these f’tards somehow manage to build a Nuke, perhaps the might blow themselves off the map by accident.
“Death to all zionist clay-mation chickens!!”
Lunkinator on June 12, 2008 at 11:38 AM
I was laughing my ass off too. These morons – supposed film experts – have never seen THE GREAT ESCAPE or STALAG 17??
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
Okay, need to get up off the floor now.
tickleddragon on June 12, 2008 at 11:41 AM
Now that is funny!
CP on June 12, 2008 at 11:42 AM
Call me slow but I thought Chicken Run carried allusions to “The Great Escape.” If it wasn’t for the famous Ayatollah of Rockandrolla fatwa against Steve McQueen in 1981 this dude would have known that.

So now they are calling the Jews, chicken? Not to their face.
*
The Chickens are the chosen race…the bible was wrong.
*
Why did the chicken cross the road?…to kill a Muslim.
*
They forgot one analogy, the chickens have control of the eggs, which is the main commodity. So just like all of the Joooos in the world, these Chicken Jooos control the economy. They want to bankrupt and put out of business the owners, which appear to be Iranian.
right2bright on June 12, 2008 at 11:45 AM
so now the Islamic extremists will attack the land of make believe. South Park is prophetic.
beefytee on June 12, 2008 at 11:46 AM
Wasn’t noted anti-Semite Mel Gibson the voice of the protagonist in that movie? The plot thickens.
ConstantSorrow on June 12, 2008 at 11:47 AM
yep.
Thanks for the laugh Allah
funky chicken on June 12, 2008 at 11:59 AM
They all need to go to Disney on “Gay Day” and chill out.
Hening on June 12, 2008 at 12:00 PM
I don’t even remember Chicken Run. I remember Chicken Little, though. Was that another zionist run production?
Rick on June 12, 2008 at 12:01 PM
Forgot the link for the Iranian Guard
Hening on June 12, 2008 at 12:03 PM
I love Chicken Run. Hell, I will probably enjoy it MORE now :)
dc84123 on June 12, 2008 at 12:04 PM
Hey dude, quit hogging the joint.
rbj on June 12, 2008 at 12:05 PM
Yeah…..right.
If the chickens were emaciated that might make sense but the owner was trying to fatten them up to make pies. That’s because the movie was paroding German POW camps in WWII.
This guy is a dufus.
shick on June 12, 2008 at 12:09 PM
And Mel Gibson was the lead voice.
Double dufus.
shick on June 12, 2008 at 12:11 PM
Didn’t see your post.
shick on June 12, 2008 at 12:13 PM
Zionist!
Rick on June 12, 2008 at 12:15 PM
Don’t you know, WWII never happened. Any claims to the contrary are just part of the Jewish plot to take over the world.
That was sarcasm for all liberals out there.
MarkTheGreat on June 12, 2008 at 12:16 PM
I’ve never seen it, but will probably watch it now just for giggles.
Connie on June 12, 2008 at 12:17 PM
All I have to say is, ’bout time someone blew the lid off of that!
Verbal Abuse on June 12, 2008 at 12:28 PM
Chicken Run is teh bomb! My kids didn’t fully appreciate it until we showed them The Great Escape.
Then we watched it again and they were rolling as much as we did.
Now tell me again how a parody of a Nazi camp for enemy combatants is like the holocaust?
Mommynator on June 12, 2008 at 12:58 PM
My thoughts exactly. Guess someone didn’t do their research.
darclon on June 12, 2008 at 1:19 PM
What a bunch of twats. I would love to sit with them and have a beer, watch TEAM AMERICA and enjoy their feedback and analysis.
lexhamfox on June 12, 2008 at 1:33 PM
Now I’m starting to wonder what evil lurks in those old Magilla Gorilla episodes…..
Think_b4_speaking on June 12, 2008 at 1:40 PM
Behold teh Zionist Chicken agents!
AlexB on June 12, 2008 at 3:31 PM
Talk about going off half-cocked!
Dr. Charles G. Waugh on June 12, 2008 at 3:43 PM
For a second there, I thought that was Donald Fagen.
