I'm sure the Mayan's all sat around singing Kumbaya in between a daily routine of smoking pot and engaing in homosexual sex, as the SF Chronicle imagines them.
Funny thing: In Mel Gibson's last movie, he depicted a civilization that took delight in engaging in a form of torture in which the victim's extremities were pierced and used to hang him so that the pressure on his body caused him to suffocate. He would push himself up, upon the spike in his feet, to try to breathe. Exhausted, he'd then collapse, suffocating again.
This civilization had some of the greatest innovations in the ancient world and is the necessary precursor to all of Western Civilization.
I didn't hear anybody complaining about Mel Gibson maligning the Romans.
