From IMDB 22 November 2004:
Greek Lawyers May Sue Over Gay Scenes in 'Alexander'
A group of Greek lawyers, maintaining that no historical document mentions that Alexander the Great ever engaged in homosexual acts, has threatened to sue director Oliver Stone and Warner Bros. unless the title credits for Alexander mention that the film is fiction. "We are not saying that we are against gays," Yannis Varnakos, one of the lawyers, told Britain's Guardian newspaper. "But we are saying that the production company should make it clear that the film is pure fiction and not a true depiction of the life of Alexander." In the film, Alexander, portrayed by Colin Farrell, is depicted as having lovers of both sexes.
Methinks they doth protest too much.
Plus they're just calling attention to the whole thing.

I reckon it's a marketing ploy to get more bums on seats. Stone is probably behind the whole thing. :)
I mean, don't they know that "greek" is slang for anal sex? Maybe they should start suing prostitutes.

"Fuckin' Greeks!"

Betsy ... did you miss the Roman Polanksi movie Pirates, starring Walter Matthau?
Yes, I did. Should I rectify the omission?
And how can I forget Muppet Treasure Island, with Tim Curry in serious contention for Best. Long John Silver. Ever.?
And Miss Piggy simpering and saying "Lo-o-ng John," and Kermit yelling, "Him, too??!!" Muppets aren't supposed to do innuendo!
Connie, did you see the Very Merry Muppet Christmas special from a few years ago? Pepe was innuendo-ing all over the place with Joan Cusack, and it wasn't all that subtle, either.

Nope, missed that one. But I did see the first one, with John Denver, where John had to tell the besotted Piggy, "I'm a married man!"
...suddenly recalling seeing an alternate universe where Beaker became a steroided bouncer at a nightclub where Scooter danced in hot pants.
It wounded my eyes and my brain.
