Iranians Getting Pissy

I had been prodding Reyhan to get tickets for 300 (the movie with lots of washboard muscle and a nifty lesbian scene) for over a week. Yesterday, I managed to spin him into action after reading on MSN that some Iranians were getting pissy because the movie portrayed Persians in a bad light and distorted history. I told him I was afraid people would decide to ban it here, because it's already banned in Iran.

Okay, million-dollar question: Aside from the historical bit where 'a handful stood against a shitload', exactly which part of the movie is inaccurate?

Maybe it was the 9-footer King of Persia. No wait, it was the giant man-thing who got his head swiped off. Sorry, my mistake. It was the Immortal soldiers of Persia wasn't it?

I need an emoticon here. One described as 'eye-roll' with a speech bubble saying "How do people become this stupid?"
