You might as well ban every movie, video game, and form of entertainment, and leave people stuck with sticks and swo- oh wait, that's banned too.

Not a lot is banned in the Principality of Dushan.

Back in the old Days some Movies deemed inapproperiate weren't shown in Screening at Cinemas, but those Days are long ago.

In the 80s VHS became extremly popular all across Dushan and many new Movies became avaiable to a wider amount of People. This has only increased since then.

The great Dushani desert and the northern Mountains and as well many places at the south Coast had by the late 70s become popular locations for many low budget Productions. Extremly low Taxes and little restrictions benefitted this development.

If you see some trashy Action movie supposed to take place in a middle eastern Country, then it could be that it was actually filmed in Dushan.

Upon the formal publication of these lists by the Qurmani "government," movie theaters throughout the Republic have been showing all of these movies at discount rates.

Our nation never heard of these movies and actresses. However banning people from watching and enjoying a movie is INSANE! We learned that Allah was nothing more than a Moon God! How and why a Moon God would give a crap about what to watch and not to watch?

Our God said treat everybody with respect and dignity and not with oppression and insanity!

Why waste your time with this imbecile he's crazier than any dictator we've ever heard of and to be frank just let his people overthrow his stupid ass!


This Etymology of Imbecile Sums it Up!

Mid 16th century (as an adjective in the sense ‘physically weak’): via French from Latin imbecillus, literally ‘without a supporting staff,’ from in- (expressing negation) + baculum ‘stick, staff.’ The current sense dates from the early 19th century.

We do not ban films on ideological grounds. However, the following films have been identified as being so unambiguously terrible as to warrant a ban to protect our people from viewing them. This has been identified as necessary for public health, after the tragic mass suicide of a crowd watching "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" who quite simply couldn't take any more.
The list:
Pearl Harbor
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Most movies by Adam Sandler, although there are a few exceptions
Most movies by Micheal Bay (yes, we know Pearl Harbor is already there, but it warrants special mention for its shittyness)
Hardcore Henry
The Star Wars prequels
North
Norm of the North (important distinction)
All three Hobbit movies
Once again, these films are banned for the good of the public. It should be noted that the suicide rate plummeted by 50% following the passing of this law. If you like these movies, we don't care. If you want to have public screening of these movies, which we have seen in other nations, we will not be responsible for any suicides by your citizens. Thank you and have a nice day.

But in all honesty, a Huswyaen would kill themselves in your nation. We promote joy and freedom yet you do all to destroy it. We have officially placed an embargo on you!
