Interesting News Bit

The Sri Lankan government seems to have felt the pressure of the Catholic Bishops, and moved to ban the screening of The Da Vinci Code here in Sri Lanka. Surprisingly, even the Vatican and Italy have allowed the movie to be shown. The Congo, Samoa, and Lebanon have also banned the movie, while the Indian government recently rejected calls for a ban. No ban on the book here in Sri Lanka, however, which seems inconsistent to me.
