ArchivesV for Vendetta Banned in Belarus
Here we go again! After dealing with Da Vinci Code by banning it from local movie theaters, Belarusian authorities found another victim-V for Vendetta. Perhaps, they took comics seriously or maybe it is paranoia responsible for it. In either case, V for Vendetta won’t be shown in Belarus, period. Apparently, an uncompromising vision of the future did not sit well with some people…
Not long ago, we posted an article about ‘V for Vendetta”. And while writing it there was a joke: “just imagine, what will authorities think watching somebody kicking butt (wearing black uniforms) and crushing totalitarian regime that in some ways resembles Belarus 2006?”
Today, we got a crystal clear answer…The Government IS afraid of its people.

Hell. yeah…They might think about all these “ideologically unstable persons who might get the message literally”.

next, they will start burning books by Orwell ’cause they seem to be an ideal candidate to influence “unstable persons”. At this moment it seems unreal and yet you never know what future holds in Belarus.

What’s up with Da Vinci Code? I understand, though hardly, the thing with V for Vendetta, however, Da Vinci Code???In any way, some fellas on the black marcket will make a big buck on selling pirate copies of Da Vinci and V for Vendetta movies.

You know, like all those movies narrated by fellas who use funny dialogues and songs replacing original lines. Hell, it won’t be easy but it could be a fun project: L For Luka!
