Fun for Wednesdays! We look at an image from an upcoming movie or TV show and write snarky, witty, or otherwise entertaining captions for it. No prizes, it’s just for fun.
“Jason and Amber were reasonably sure they still had a shot at winning the Mary and Joseph lookalike contest even though they’d lost baby Aidan somewhere in the Wal-mart the day before…”:
Disney tells us about the movie:
Set in the mystical lands of Persia, a rogue prince reluctantly joins forces with a mysterious princess and together, they race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time – a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time opens in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. on May 28.
Visit Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time’s IMDB page or official site for more info.

“Quick! Run before they realize neither of us is an Arab!”
“If my parents find out I’ve been dating a Sunni, we are sooo busted…in your case literally… with large stones.”
Is it just me, or does it look like they photo-shopped his right hand on his left arm?
Oh and Kenny: Persian =/= Arab
He’s supposed to be a prince of the Persian empire. So while the Persians ruled over large swathes of the world, and many races fell under their dominion, racially, their royal family were what we would now describe as middle eastern or Arab.
Jake Gyllenhaal is not.
Oh sorry, having read the plot synopsis, I’ve discovered that Dastan (Jake’s character) is an adopted street urchin. Why this would make him more likely to be white, I don’t know.
Gemma Arterton’s character is not adopted… and is also white.
Seriously please stop typing. If you stick your foot any further down your throat, you may find it difficult to ever fully remove.
A quick Google search would prove you wrong. (Arab Persian) brings up:

Bob :D How are you? Feeling good? Lovely. I enjoyed those links and feel better knowing that, while Persians and Arabs are culturally distinct groups, that you could TOTALLY TELL THEM APART JUST BY LOOKING.
My point, you jumpy down the throat type person… is that Jake and Gemma are WHITE.
“Dude I know it’s scary but if you’re gonna drop one give me some friggin’ warning will ya”
“Sorry for eating so much garlic sauce!”
“Let’s beat it! That crowd is not into jewish humour!”
“Yeah, and you had to tell the joke with the Rabbi meeting Mohammed!”
“Hey, what is that? Do you still have that dagger stuck in your pants?”
“Err…yeah, th..the dagger…”
“Oh damn, should have known this was the set for ‘Robin Hood’ when I saw Russel Crowe!”
