Iranian elections lead to copyright violation, historical ignorance

by

So I was listening to the BBC World Service over breakfast yesterday (thanks to this fine Dashboard widget) and they had a story about the upcoming elections in Iran. They played a bit of the campaign commercial for the hard-line candidate. All well and good, expect he was using the theme music from “Alexander” in his ad. So, let me get this straight; music from a terrible, Western movie filled to brimming with homosexual innuendo and about a guy who invaded and conquered the Persian people is apparently entirely appropriate to a guy who wants to hold up the values of the 1979 Islamic revolution. Clearly, someone on his campaign needs to be fired. 🙂
