Burma takes shots at John Rambo

On Deadline

February 22, 2008 - A Burmese DICTATORS' magazine issued a harsh critique of Sylvester Stallone's performance in the latest installment of the Rambo franchise.

The Voice, a privately owned magazine subject to censorship, says the American actor, whose character saves Christian missionaries being held in the jungles of the country also known as Myanmar, "looks funny fighting a war even though he's so fat with sagging breasts."

The magazine goes on to say Stallone looks like a "lunatic" in the banned movie.

AP says The Voice article is actually a "loosely translated" version of a review that appeared in The Straits Times last month. Here's how that paper described the action star: "He brings back his [John] Rambo for one more ridiculous battle even though he's so fat and man-breast heavy he looks like Blocky crashing through the jungle like a trip down mammary lane."

The wire service says a word the original author used to describe the ruling junta was lost in translation: "Dictators."
