... is answered with punishment?

Europe now joins America with "politically correctness" and intolerance?

Anything that makes it easier to sweep truth under the rug, and disallow honest open communication is asking for a return to tyranny ("Hitler"), in my view.

All this at a festival that celebrates the very best in cinematic communication? The thought police will be next.

  Not the same thing, though I get your point.
  
  Now marching around Sundance with said "T" might garner stares... and perhaps a script idea?
  
  And I always thought Cannes was progressive - guess the times have changed?
  - I believe it was the "Israel is a pain in the ass" part that did the trick. * - mr grits 11:14:40 05/24/11 (1)

    "What can I say? I understand Bin Laden, but I think he did some wrong things, yes, absolutely. But I can see him sitting in his bunker in the end," von Trier said. "He's not what you would call a good guy, but I understand much about him, and I sympathize with him a little bit. But come on, I'm not for the 9/11, and I'm not against Americans. ...

    "I am very much for Americans. No, not too much, because USA is a pain in the ass."
    
    All I did is replaced one name, one event and one country. Gee, I agree with you, people are too touchy and too PC nowadays. Pussies! Von Trier can't even exercise his freedom of speech! Poor guy...
