The Philippine Alliance Against Pornography Inc. (PAAP) has called on President Arroyo to ban the showing of the film version of The Da Vinci Code. They are also demanding that the National Bureau of Investigation, Philippine National Police and the Bureau of Customs to confiscate and destroy master copies of the film - although it’s not clear how much jusrisdiction they expect the Phillipines to have over a foreign film studio.

But it gets madder:

In a statement, PAAP spokesman Aldo Filomeno said copies of Brown’s books available in bookstores and related establishments should also be destroyed.

Finally, the group wants Brown to be declared persona non grata in the country.

And madder:

“Therefore, theologians and historians are unanimous (in saying) that Brown is the one having a code. That is to conquer the world with greed for billions (of dollars in) profits. Brown is the modern-day Adolf Hitler. By his highly questionable writings, he wants to destroy the divinity of Christ so the world will worship his evil empire,” [PAAP spokesman Aldo] Filomeno said.

Aldo Filomeno really does pull his head out of his arse and ask himself whether he really thinks that a second rate novellist can ever be compared to the worst mass murderer of the 20th Century.
