Piteous Greece to sue Indiana Jones over Macedonia Indiana Jones may end up in Court. Legendary archeologist Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) uses Macedonia's constitutional name in his latest movie when speaking of treasures of the Ancient World. One can only imagine the reaction of poor Greeks. Dora Bakoyannis, the Greek Foreign Minister fired off a protest letter to legendary director Steven Spielberg for that particular scene in the movie. According to Bakoyannis, Spielberg needed to explain for what Macedonia he is speaking of, upper or lower! Dora had been persistent in her letter, asking to either remove the scene or fix it! If all this doesn't turn fruitful, Greek PM Costas Karamanlis will sue Spielberg for 'misuse' of the name Macedonia. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull had so far earned over $150 million. macedoniaonline.eu/content/view/1621/1/

This is way too much. One thing is to protest, another one to overreact in such almost absurd manner.
"According to Bakoyannis, Spielberg needed to explain for what Macedonia he is speaking of, upper or lower!" Does Mrs Bakoyannis think anybody cares if it is upper or lower?
