Paramount reportedly bans showings of "Team America" Theaters Say

Forget those plans by Alamo Drafthouse Cinema and other theaters to run Team America: World Police in place of The Interview. The Austin-based chain says that Paramount has now decided not to offer South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s 2004 satire that focuses on Kim Jong-il, the late father of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. Alamo says that the cancellation at its Dallas theater is “due to circumstances beyond our control” and says it will offer refunds to those who have already bought tickets. Cleveland’s Capitol Theater also tweeted that Team America “has been canceled by Paramount Pictures.”

One of my favorites of all time. To see my favorite actors (sarcasm) lam-pwned in such a way is hilarious. It’s so politically incorrect it’s priceless. Team America, coming again to save the *** ** *** day yea.

I think I loved it because it reminded me of (and was a total rip-off of) ‘Thunderbirds!’

What about suggestions for another alternative ?
Blazing Saddles ?
Dr. Strangelove ?

How about the remake of Red Dawn?

They would have stopped Back to The Future, because it had Libyan terrorists.

Ya’ll remember the death threats when “Book of Mormon” was the toast of the town. The film and theater crowd were sooooo brave, weren’t they?
