Small "Lost"-related wank
Over on the Naveen Andrews boards at IMDB, forza_azori is very angry that an Indian is playing a Iraqi. Naturally, people are angered by his anger, and aquamarinebeach in particular wants forza_azori to "go watch your own Al Jazeera versions of "Lost"".

Things go downhill from there, and I find myself wondering why we can't all just ogle the pretty, pretty men without worrying about the actors' race; all I really want is some decent Sawyer/Sayid... *Sings "We Are the World"*

ETA: Some choice quotes in which both forza_azori and aquamarinebeach demonstrate their masterful wankery, courtesy of sairobi


Forza_azori (OP): it dosnt make sense , i watched that ep where the americans take him in iraq
he's arabic SUX , and he dosnt look like one plus he's manners isnt like arab
he's a total indian :S
the producers are really stupid for this , there is alot of middle eastern ppl that are better then him in acting for this role

Aquamarinebeach replies: He is English but even then he manages to play an Arab convincingly - to his credit he got a golden globe and an emmy nomination for this role - so just give him a break. If they chose him over the arabs that auditioned - may be it's just that arabs have no talent - that's all. If it's not about race, you muslims are always fighting about religion - so if you are not happy watching him - just go watch your own Al Jazeera versions of "Lost". Aren't movies like Lost against your religion by the way - so just keep away - it's bad influence for you buddy!

Forza_azori gets defensive: who said that i didnt like it
and btw i find your post a little offensive .. why attacking my religion ?
i just find that he's not the right person for this role
and i think there is alot better actors then him for this role !

Aquamarinebeach makes crass generalities: Coz it's true - only muslims have a problem with non-muslims playing muslim characters! If not so how come the title of your discussion is "why the hell is an indian playing an iraqi" - may be you should have auditioned for the role - I doubt that you would have acted better than him though - next thing you will probably ask is why did they make the caricatures in Denmark, right?

And so on and such forth! Later, the discussion turns on poor Hugh Grant (and Britain's continuing exportation of Hugh Grant Doofishness (TM)), who never did anything to anyone but is apparently guilty of something by association of being British.
