The U.S. movie blockbuster Bruce Almighty is the latest film to be banned in Malaysia on religious grounds.  The film, in which Jim Carrey plays a character who is asked to do the job of God and run the world for a few days, has been deemed inappropriate by a Maylasian government minister.  The minitster considered the film to be extremely offensive to Muslims, unusual for a government that is generally famed for its sense of humour and easy-going attitude.  Since Maylasia is a predominantly Muslim country the minister has said in a statement "We cannot equate ourselves with God almighty even as a joke."

Maylasia has a track record of banning American films, and has previously banned "Austin Powers", "DareDevil" and "Zoolander".  It is also rumoured that they limited the cinema showings of StarWars Episode II after they discovered that R2-D2 is actually Jewish.

As is custom in many mainstream religions, in the interest of feigning offence at any opinion that does not completely agree with our own views, we at Funny.co.uk would like to ask for the banning of "Rocky IV", "Groundhog Day" and any film in which a cop has a sidekick who is a dog.
