China bans South Korean film

Chinese officials have banned a South Korean film "The King and the Clown" because the movie implies a homosexual theme.

Directed by JUN-IK LEE, The King And The Clown has taken a huge $85 million from 12 million cinema admissions. But because homosexuality is still highly controversial in China, where being gay is considered a mental defect, the film has been forbidden from theatres.

It's amazing how much our American fundamentalist movement is so similar in ideals to totalitarian regimes.
