Zoolander

It was one of the worst movies I've seen.

An absolute assault on the intelligence.



How long can you make fun of bimbotic male models' stupidity before the whole story falls apart due to a lack of logic?


But I'm not here to talk about the movie.

I'm here to talk about the reactions to the dumbest movie I had to watch.

It was banned in Singapore and Malaysia.

In Malaysia, this is what Wikipedia says,

In this comedy film, the title character Derek Zoolander visits Malaysia which is shown as impoverished and dependent on sweatshops. For this reason, Malaysia's censorship board deemed it "definitely unsuitable"


It's interesting. This makes sense why Malaysia would ban it... but why would Singapore?

Maybe it's cuz they portrayed Malaysia as a country of Chinese.

The prime minister of Malaysia was an old Chinese man.


Or maybe it's cuz the movie dealt with the issue of an assassination plot on the prime minister of Malaysia.


We'll never be sure. Though i think it should be banned for sanity's sake, if not for its potential to cause civil unrest.
