Daily Brickbat Absurd news bites, served fresh every day. By Charles Oliver Acts of Treachery (10/10) Vietnamese officials say they may fine actor Don Duong, ban him from plying his craft, and bar him from leaving the country for five years. That's apt punishment, they say, for distorting the history and image of Vietnamese soldiers. Duong, one of the nation's most popular actors, played a Vietnamese military commander in the Mel Gibson movie We Were Soldiers. The movie actually portrayed Vietnamese soldiers as brave and capable. But it also presented American soldiers as well-meaning and courageous, not the cruel butchers portrayed in Vietnamese cinema. The movie is banned in Vietnam but widely available on bootleg DVDs.

I've never heard of biodiesel before, but it appears to be legal in the US. Sounds like a great idea. The reason customs is cracking down on it in the UK is that it is defrauding H.M Government of huge tax revenue. The Tax on gas is way over 100%. Just need potatoes and sunflower seeds to power the countries vehicles. Who could complain about that?? -g-
