Alexander the Not-So-Great

A group of Greek lawyers are threatening to sue Oliver Stone over his new movie about Alexander the Great because it depicts the legendary Macedonian as bisexual. If it does go to trial, the lawyers should have no problem winning, for they clearly must have a time machine at their disposal. For, how else could they be so certain?

Perhaps they could lend this time machine to Mel Gibson, so he could prove that his depiction of the Passion was as accurate as he insisted it was.

The lawyers should also be upset that the film depicts Alexander as a pagan, when we all know he was a devout Christian, even if he did live more than three hundred years before Christ.
