Quick! Ban that movie!
Apparently the latest Gibson film is too gory in its depictions of Mayan history:
"As if offending Jewish people was not bad enough, Mel Gibson has now raised the ire of Guatemalans. The central American nation's presidential commissioner on racism said yesterday Gibson's new film Apocalypto painted Mayan people in a derogatory light. Ricardo Cajas said the film sets back the understanding of the Mayan people by 50 years and compared it to the negative images of Native Americans in US movies from the 1950s.

The real Mayans of history were peace-loving vegetarians of course.
