Steakhouse bans Seth Rogen over American Sniper comments

If Seth Rogen and Michael Moore ever find themselves in Michigan, they can forget about eating at Brann's Sizzling Steaks and Sports Grille.

Tommy Brann, owner of the restaurant, has explicitly banned Rogen and Moore, thanks to the comments they each made about Clint Eastwood's American Sniper. Rogen, who compared American Sniper to the fake Nazi propaganda film shown in Inglourious Basterds, has since apologized for his remarks. Moore, on the other hand, said he was taught that snipers were "cowards" rather than "heroes," and he has since backtracked on his statements, too.

"Chris Kyle is an American hero and what he represents to me is the goodness of America and the people who defend it," Brann told The Huffington Post. "He was doing his job and he was doing it great."
