Oliver Stone is a man that is interested in telling stories. He was interested in telling the world the biography of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but was turned down and called The Great Satan! We get the glorious Satanic news from our friends at monsters and critics:
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has rejected Oliver Stone’s offer to make a documentary about his life, calling Stone part of the “Great Satan cultural establishment.”
Stone replied, “I have been called a lot of things, but never a Great Satan. I wish the Iranian people well and only hope their experience with an inept, rigid ideologue president goes better than ours.”
The Iranian Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, first called the US a Great Satan after the 1979 Islamic Revolution
This is just fall down funny, knee-slapping news. It is a little concerning that someone who would say this to Oliver Stone is a president of a country, but democracy does not always guarantee you a quality leader. In a democratic system, a leader is a reflection of the people and that is a sobering thought.
I wonder if Oliver Stone is going to go ahead and do the documentary anyway. That would be pretty ballsy and a big FU to the Iranian leader. This certainly takes the cake for the “wacky” news of the day. I certainly hope the war of words continues.
