Japanese Censors block Bush assassination movie

The guardians of movie ethics in Japan blocked the distribution of a controversial movie depicting the imaginary assassination of U.S. President George W. Bush because of objections to its Japanese title, sources said Wednesday.
The movie is the 2006 British pseudo-documentary "Death of a President," which graphically depicts the fictional killing and its after-effects on American society.
The Japanese distribution company Presidio Corp. submitted the title "Bush Ansatsu," which literally means "Bush Assassinated."
That apparently went too far for the Administration Commission of Motion Picture Code of Ethics (Eirin), which approves movies, both domestic and foreign, for viewing in Japan.

The Presidio strikes again. Good for them.

It's not even a good movie anyway. Rather than viewing how such an event could change the political landscape and relations between countries, it's more focused on finding who the assassin was. Dull.
