Lebanon wants to sue 'Homeland' - GoFuckYourself.com

Paul&John · 10-19-2012, 11:43 AM

hmm?

"Homeland" is unfairly making the country of Lebanon look like a super-violent unsafe place where terrorists roam free with abandon ... so say Lebanese officials ... and now they're considering SUING producers.

WARNING -- The U.S. State Dept. considers Lebanon a super-violent unsafe place where terrorists roam free with abandon.

But back to the story ... Lebanese Tourism Minister Fadi Abboud told The Associated Press ... people in his country are very upset about the Showtime series ... and have a particular beef with the fact that several scenes portraying Beirut were really shot in Israel.

"It was not filmed in Beirut and does not portray the real image of Beirut," the Tourism Minister said ... adding, "It showed Hamra Street with militia roaming in it. This does not reflect reality."

Now, Lebanon is looking into a lawsuit -- with the Tourism official saying, "The information minister is studying media laws to see what can be done."

The production company behind the show has not yet commented on the situation.

Did they say they would at one point?

Damn Russians need to go after Hollywood. Every third movie I watched last couple of months had some bad ass Russian mafia dude (or dudes) named Igor, Pavel or Nikolai. I mean real bad guys.

They should sue the human league first if they really feel that way.

The Lebanon
Songwriters: OAKEY, PHIL/CALLIS, JO

She dreams of nineteen sixty-nine
Before the soldiers came
The life was cheap on bread and wine
And sharing meant no shame
She is awakened by the screams
Of rockets flying from nearby
And scared she clings onto her dreams
To beat the fear that she might die
And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon
The Lebanon
Before he leaves the camp he stops
He scans the world outside
And where there used to be some shops
Is where the snipers sometimes hide
He left his home the week before
He thought heÕd be like the police
But now he finds he is at war
"WerenÕt we supposed to keep the peace"
And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon
The Lebanon
The Lebanon
From the Lebanon
I must be dreaming
It canÕt be true
I must be dreaming
It canÕt be true
And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone?
From the Lebanon
The Lebanon
The Lebanon
From the Lebanon

I read about this in the local paper while eating lunch out today. Fuck off. NCIS is set in Washington DC but entirely filmed in SoCal. Get over it. It's Hollywood.
