Linguists call for "Da Vinci Code" ban


The Malaysian Linguistic Association (MALAS) has echoed calls by other parties to ban the controversial movie The Da Vinci Code.

The film is an adaptation of the best-selling novel that deals with some aspects of the Christian faith.But the objection by Malas has nothing to do with theology because " we don't even know who Theo is", says its president Ambi Mohan.

The association's chief objection is, instead, linguistic. " For too long we have sat by and allowed language to be polluted but we have decided that enough's enough.The da vinci code should be banned because we don't want to encourage youngsters to use "da" as a lazy shorthand for "the". We see this in rap lyrics, he claims. All this talk about "handing out with da hoes". You should be hanging out with THE hoes. This sort of begs the question of why someone would want to hang out with the gardening implements to begin with, but I am not here to question lifestyle choices, merely spelling, grammar and semantics.

He said the association might reconsider its protests if the filmmakers changed The The Vinci Code. " But even this is problematic because having two "thes" in a row look ugly.So the film should be called The Vinci Code.

The film's producers could not be reached for comment.

:bwahaha:

The meaning of "Da Vinci" is "from Vinci".
Leonardo Da Vinci translates to Leanardo from Vinci, which is a town in Italy.

[boybi]

saw in the newspaper that a group burned books and cds of the Da Vinci Code. hehe, ang labo nila, where did they get those materials, binili nila diba? e di kumikita si Dan Brown sa pagsusunog nila. lalo pang matutuwa si Dan Brown sa pinaggagawa nila :p

Pathetic.

oo nga..haha..

basta ako after ko manuod walang epekto sakin..maganda ang movie at un nalang un..hindi un basis na magbago ang pananampalataya ko kay Lord... ang importante gumawa tayo ng mabuti sa kapwa natin..ano man ang nakaraan wala ng magbabago dun..IMO lang naman.

buti na lang sinabi mo.... la lang. hehehe

[claRkEnt]

if not for the publicity created, di siguro kumita tong Da Vinci Code movie. I find X-Men more amusing. Galing!!!

[Linkk]

dapat lang na i ban ang movie na to, di ko lang talaga ma take yung pang iinsulto, kay Jesus Christ at di ko rin maintindihan why some of those so called Christians are allowing it. bakit??

[kimpOy]

its a work of fiction pare, imho i think anyone who is over 18 (PG-18 to di ba) has already a firm grasped of his religion and can already decide from himself if a 2.5 hour movie has altered his belief.

imho tame pa nga ito nakita mo ba yung the last temptation of jesus christ by martin scorsese (may scene pa dun na nag iniimagine ni JC na nag ma-making love sila ni Mary Magdalene...)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Temptation_of_Christ

[empy]

basta ako hindi ko pa ito pinapanood so may pag-asa pa akong pumasok sa Heaven. :evillaugh

kayong mga nanood na, no chance na kayo

[Linkk]

i know its a work of fiction and its a big joke, pero why allow it? Its like insulting your mother then sasabihin sau, joke lang pare wag kang pikon. kung yung mga muslim brothers nga natin i potray ma lang si mahomed ng di maganda, suicide bomber na katapat mo.
