Persicentrism

Iran has condemned the new film 300, which depicts the battle of Thermopylae in 480BC where the Greeks defeated the Persian forces of King Xerxes, in terms that can only be described as raving paranoia:
Not only would no nation or government accept this... but it would also consider it as hostile behaviour which is the result of cultural and psychological warfare.
Cultural and psychological warfare; uh huh.

Note to the Mullahs: It's not all about you.

    Sorry to be nitpicky, but the battle ended in a Persian victory, albiet a pyrrhic and embarrassing one.

    But anyway, yeah, shut up Iran.
