I laughed at the beginning but found the ending rather hilarious!
From Yahoo.com:
Iran to Hollywood: Two thumbs down
Nevermind that nuclear spat; can U.S.-Iran relations overcome the Mickey Rourke divide? Javad Shamaqdari, the art and cinema adviser to Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, on Sunday demanded an apology from a visiting U.S. film-industry group for what he called insulting treatment of Iran in the movies "300" and "The Wrestler." Iranians (and some reviewers) did not appreciate the depiction in "300" of their ancestors who fought against the Greeks in the battle of Thermopylae as evil, decadent, and effeminate. In "The Wrestler," Mickey Rourke plays a broken-down grappler battling a nemesis called The Ayatollah, who tries to choke him with an Iranian flag. Fair enough, but if Iran actually does extract an apology from Hollywood, can Americans get one too for having to sit through "The Love Guru"?
