What? Mahmoud's not ready for his close up?

From Kamangir:

Mehdi Kolhar, Ahmadinejad’s media adviser, said “Ahmadinejad rejected Oliver Stone’s request [to make a film about Ahmadinejad]”.

He said “I sent Dr Ahmadinejad’s rejection to Oliver Stone because even though he is in the opposition in the states, but even the opposition in the states is a part of the big satan”.

He added “We believe that the American movie-production system does not contain any element of culture or art and is only a tool”.

“I must add that Dr Ahmadinejad was personally against this”. He concluded, “However, it is very clear why Stone asked for doing the movie. He [Ahmadinejad] is an appealing figure in the world and the Americans always look for what can return their investment”.

Hey Hollywood! You're all capitalist tools... (h/t Gateway Pundit)
