Got to be careful when you toss words like Fascism around:

PARIS, France (Hollywood Reporter) — One of France’s leading independent cinema groups has refused to program Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ,” which it has branded “fascist propaganda.”

“I refused to program the film in my network of theaters,” MK2 president Marin Karmitz said in a written statement forwarded to The Hollywood Reporter. “I have always fought against fascism, notably through my exhibition activity. For me, ‘Passion’ is a film of fascist propaganda.”

Uh, yeah, right. I wonder what he will show in his “exhibition activity”? Sounds like he needs to read the definition of the word.(via CNN, Reuters)
