Yahoo! News - Israeli Court Tells 'Shrek' to Cut Castration Jibe



En Israel tuvieron que regresar a la distribuidora todas las copias de shrek 2 por burlarse de un cantante y sugerir que era eunuco...

a el no le pareció tan gracioso.


An Israeli singer famed for his falsetto won a court case against the Hebrew version of "Shrek 2" on Monday for implying he had been castrated.



In its original Israeli dub, the hit animated comedy had one character threaten to emasculate another by saying "Let's do a David Daor on him" -- referring to the leading contralto who represented the Jewish state at the Eurovision song contest.


"This film intends to present me, in perpetuity, as a eunuch, a man with no testicles, and turn me into a laughing stock," Daor told Yedioth Ahronoth daily before the suit.


Tel Aviv District Court ruled in the singer's favor, and ordered "Shrek 2" withdrawn from 20 cinemas pending a redub.


The film's Israeli distributor could not be reached immediately to say what phrase it would use instead.
