Also listed were the Bahamas for banning Ang Lee's Oscar winning film, Brokeback Mountain which according to their government "lacked public value and depicted extreme homosexuality, nudity and profanity;" and Egypt and Samoa for banning Ron Howard's film version of The Da Vinci Code out of fear that it would cause religious unrest.
