Bit of Scottish history...1000 years ago...by willy s
Censors in Thailand have banned a film based on Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth, saying it is "divisive".
Shakespeare Must Die is a Thai-language adaptation of the play in which an ambitious Scottish general murders the king and kills again to hold on to his throne.
The film's director, Ing Kanjanavanit, told the BBC the ban was ridiculous.
"Very few films are banned here," she said. "It is amazing they would find a poet dead 400 years such a threat."

Boxing Legend Sir Henry Cooper Dies Aged 76
2011-05-02 03:32:57
FYI UK Boxing Fans....a legend gone..
Boxing legend Sir Henry Cooper has passed away at the age of 76 at his son's house in Oxted, Surrey.
The former English, Commonwealth and European heavyweight champion fought 55 times and is revered for his knockdown of Muhammad Ali in 1963.
London-born Cooper, who won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year twice, was knighted in 2000.
Alongside Frank Bruno, Tommy Farr and Lennox Lewis, Cooper is considered one of the best all-time British boxers.
Despite enjoying a hugely successful career, he never won a world title and retired in 1971 after losing to Joe Bugner.
Sir Henry is best remembered though for his two famous clashes with Ali in the 1960s.
