they must be * supporters :eyes:

EW DELHI (Reuters) - Hard-line Hindus hurled stones and damaged movie theaters in India Monday to stop the screening of a film about a relationship between two women, saying it violated Indian culture.

Nearly 100 activists of the student's wing of the Shiv Sena group smashed window panes, ripped up posters and burned effigies at a hall screening the Hindi film "Girlfriend" in Bombay, capital of India's prolific movie industry, witnesses said.

The film show was stopped after the attack.

3. That's right-

Dubya will call the commander of his storm troopers, Tom DeLay, and they'll march on any theater showing it. Or they'll do to theater managers what Mussolini's thugs used to do to newspaper editors: break into their offices and force them to drink a quart of castor oil!
