Nobody mentioned this but it's from The Guardian's coverage of the series and now I'm even more glad that I've got rid of my TV.

Really? That's so stupid that they cut it. The Greeks of all the countries?
Lol
The irony although they should get down here and watch Eastenders. I wonder what they'll make of that. Impose a ban or something stupid.
It is not about the gay or not if anything it is just about the continuous sloppy fake kisses that I find embarrassing.
I was just thinking how it must be like to fake kissing someone let alone get into bed with me and fake sex too.
I know I could not do it.
Lol indeed. Well they are extremely religious the greeks catholics are they?
I mean in Southern Ireland you are not allowed abortions in this day and age and that is more pressing then a kiss faked by two men.
it may never try
but when it does it sigh
it is just that
good
it fly
We have similar problems here too with the religious groups trying to dictate what happens in the majority of the country based on a minority belief system. I listen to the American BBC to maintain some kind of clue about what is going on over there, but it's hard to really understand the politics of places so far away.
By the way, I love this show. I am watching through Netflix.
The Greek religion is Greek Orthodox. although the banning of an homosexual act may have been taken by the TV companyon its own account rather than for religious reasons. In any case it's not something I would have wanted to see. So by not watching the programme I saved myself the trouble of switching it off: that is if I'd had a TV anyway.

Should the Greeks only watch Greek TV programs?
Yesterday I caught a radio news item that said this year's Academy Award nominations includes a film about Abraham Lincoln. I immediately thought that it was the one about him being a vampire killer but it turned out to be another film. So now that he has become a hot property, will we see Abe destroying zombies, defeating alien space invaders, teaming up with Sly Stallone to save the world from a mad scientist etc etc? And what about the musical potential? Just stick a beard on that Jagger bugger and you've got the perfect Lincoln and two massacres for the price of one, with scenes of civil warfare while the pop group murder the Battle Hymn of the Republic in the background.

Spielberg's "Lincoln" is a great movie: "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire hunter" is terrible - almost as bad as "Jesus Christ: Vampire slayer". Watch that one if you want a ridiculous movie.
