A chinese artist Zhao Bandi is taking KungFu Panda to court:,
Reasons from the artist
"I think they painted the panda’s eyes green with ulterior motives. Green eyes are somewhat evil. I have studied drawing and painters will never use green eyes when depicting a kind person."
"The panda is not only a symbol for China but also for the people. Making a panda’s father a duck is nothing but an insult to Chinese people. I am afraid Chinese youth in several years will regard Donald Duck as their ancestors." is taking Kunfu Panda to court for two reasons
:confused:
Pretty bad case of not getting it. I liked that scene near the end where Po says, "Sometimes I feel like I'm not your son" and instead of a corny revelation that explains some hidden ancestral superpowers things resolve in a more down-to-earth way.
As for green-eyed nice people, well, one of the greatest heroes and media successes of the past decade has green eyes. Besides, I'm yet to see an Asian movie, animated or live-action, that portrays Westerners in a non-clichéd way. If all else fails they can still go and censor the movie; recent news has it their government over there is rather good at stuff like that.
I think I'll sue Mr. Zhao Bandi for libel. I have green eyes and I'm not evil. Since he's Chinese, maybe I can sue the whole country. Well, I'm off to the lawer.

UNITE ALL GREEN EYES :D
Do I hear class action? Any one? Any one?
...we must all face a choice, between what is right... and what is easy."
Sigh... It's the 21st century, and there are people around who still fervently believe nonsense like this.
Besides, everyone knows that blondes are really the evil ones... :D
ive got blonde hair and green eyes, i must be really evil...
Cough...cough...Gamera......cough
I don't fit into that category but there are many out there. Also you can get
cats, grasshoppers..THINK GREEN
Humourless people deserve to have their heads sat on by grossly obese people, who've eaten far, far too many cupcakes.
Cupcakes made with plenty of rancid garlic, that is.

Besides, it seems to have escaped eagle-eyed Bandi Xiansheng's attention that the great mentor figure is *gasp* a turtle. Last I checked turtles were regarded as lecherous animals in China and calling a person a turtle is equal to calling someone 'bastard' in Western countries. (The explanation is that turtles lay eggs and abandon their nests so that their offspring doesn't know its ancestors.)
I'm in, I have green eyes.
well according to chinese culture RED is the sacred color..
now if they used red eyes instead of Green ,the whole world would have termed pada as the 'Devil'...
so i guess its China against the World ....lol :D
I hope this is thrown out of court for reasons of insanity on Zhao Bandi's part. :rolleyes:
