He Mattered

By Kamangir • Dec 21st, 2005 • Category: Iran

Our president is among the people who mattered in 2005, as selected by Time Magazine. Though, future will show us all why he mattered this much, for making people comfortable or for spreading hatred and struggle…
p.s. I hope those funny news agencies do not interpret this as a good sign! Time introduces Ahmadinejad as follows: [...]



Crisis Management

By Kamangir • Dec 21st, 2005 • Category: Iran

This picture shows a scene from the fifth global maneuver in Tehran conducted for preparedness for metropolitan crisis. The main scope of this affair seems to be managing earthquake damages. See the rest, and more relevant, images here (see).



Spiderman

By Kamangir • Dec 21st, 2005 • Category: Iran

That strange creature at the middle of this skyscraper is Alain Robert, the Spiderman. He is a nice casual French man with lots of broken bones (see). His style is like this, he rushes to a building and starts climbing up. Sometimes he is got caught by Police (see) sometimes they arrest him after he [...]



Jessica! We all believe in you!

By Kamangir • Dec 20th, 2005 • Category: Iran

Ahmadinejad is not the only man on the earth claiming to have light around his skull. This picture shows Benjamin Creme “overshadowed by Maitreya for about 20 minutes”. That was 26th September 2001 in Amsterdam (see). Who is Maitreya? “Many now expect the return of their awaited Teacher, whether they call him the Christ, Messiah, [...]



Children have the right to …

By Kamangir • Dec 20th, 2005 • Category: Iran

Look at these half-minute cartoons made for Unicef as public service announcements (see). Particularly, I like this one (high low) and love this one (high low).
Last visit: 13 August 2007.



Mr. Politician

By Kamangir • Dec 16th, 2005 • Category: Iran

Mr. politician goes to Russia. I am tracking this clergy man and I have not understood why he is there. He never seems to be engaged in any serious bussiness. Maybe only when they want to say their prayers he becomes useful.



Don’t Laugh, Please!

By Kamangir • Dec 16th, 2005 • Category: Iran

Would you please don’t laugh?



One Picture, Many Thoughts

By Kamangir • Dec 16th, 2005 • Category: Iran

This picture is started circulating in the internet. The original source seems to be a website majorly devoted to fun-related material. In the original image, censored here, face of the monkey is replaced with Ahmadinajed’s face.
First of all, as a person who has spent time on manipulating images, I have to acknowledge the quality of [...]



Another Islam

By Kamangir • Dec 15th, 2005 • Category: Islam

I found this cartoon, titled “Islam”, here (see). The cartoon shown below is also from the same artist.

Last visit: 12 August 2007.



Naked Ahmadinejad

This is from here (see).



Return

By Kamangir • Dec 15th, 2005 • Category: Iran

The old style is better, isn’t it?



Bored of Enthusiasm?

By Kamangir • Dec 15th, 2005 • Category: Iran

These two pictures should belong to different times. Imagine the president talking with that enthusiasm and people being this bored. These two pictures are consequent images in Mehr news agency’s report of the event (see).



Strange Picture

By Kamangir • Dec 15th, 2005 • Category: Iran

Why is that picture there? If I am correct, the picture belongs to Paris or Iraq, the days before revolution. The picture is in color, so that’s not just somebody’s simply first picture found to print. It is not easy to find printers capable of making A3 pages everywhere in Iran. The picture is folded [...]



Mahmoud Ahmadinejad makes me shame

By Kamangir • Dec 15th, 2005 • Category: Iran

This is an English translation of “Mahmoud Ahmadinejad makes me shame, by Navid Kermani” from Le Monde (see). I understand him and agree with him. The translationis done using “Google Tralnslate” (see).

Oui, I have shame. I am ashamed of the new Iranian president and I hope that the presenters of television will never manage to [...]



Down and Down

By Kamangir • Dec 15th, 2005 • Category: Iran

We are going down and down and down (see roozonline dated today, see, see, see)…



The War Between Classes

By Kamangir • Dec 14th, 2005 • Category: Iran

 

There is a war going on in Iran. This war was neither began by Ahmadinejad nor will end after him. This is a war amongst people. Between different classes of people.



National Press

By Kamangir • Dec 13th, 2005 • Category: Iran

I am determined to commit suicide. You know, I am spending four months on a single problem, whose solution will be nothing more than, maybe, an article published in a journal, read by a few other guys. And then, a 25-year old girl, younger than me, which is graduated from some management school has reportedly [...]



No Title

By Kamangir • Dec 13th, 2005 • Category: Iran

There is a special organization in Iran which is devoted to managing affairs of people injured in war, called Boniad briefly. This article describes how Boniad manages a celebration for them (see). Read the article to see how they did not let people on wheelchairs to use elevators. Then, guests knew that there is not [...]



Cavemen Who Pay For It

By Kamangir • Dec 13th, 2005 • Category: Iran

I see this:

Shouldn’t this Iranian politician, the clergy man, be more handsome?

Have they really forced these Russian guys to drink water with that excellent food?

Those Russians have certain reasons to accept these cavemen from Iran. What is the ransom paid for this?

Special thanks to Haddad (not seen here). At least he is wearing casual cloth [...]



On Words

By Kamangir • Dec 13th, 2005 • Category: Iran

Do you know why rather than saying “a box with light going on from one of it sides, with some buttons there, connected to another box with something going on in it, connected to another box with so many bottoms on it, totally used to become happy by trying to fake killing bad guys” we [...]



Palestine or Dubai, this is the problem…

By Kamangir • Dec 13th, 2005 • Category: Iran

One of the solgans of the strikes following Basij attacks to University of Tehran’s dormitory was “Iran is becoming like Palestine, Hey! People! why are you quite?”. Now, I think we have to shout “Iran is becoming Las Vegas, Hey! People! why do you go to Dubai?”. Though, unfortunately, Ahmadinejad is still in Iran!



Naked Emperor

By Kamangir • Dec 13th, 2005 • Category: Iran

I have an assignment to do and yet these guys in Iran do not let me spend my time on it. I have been doing lots of montage works to make funny pictures of my friends. Also, during my masters I was seriously engaged in object-based image editing. I know how much it takes to [...]



Zahedi

By Kamangir • Dec 13th, 2005 • Category: Iran

When I was writhing last post about Zahedi’s speech among Basij members, I thought this guy should be really nuts. Then, I searched for his biography and this is the result (see). 75 journal papers and 90 conference papers. I don’t know. He seems to have the brains for that. At least, it seems that [...]



Cabinet is Under Construction

By Kamangir • Dec 13th, 2005 • Category: Iran

Try to connect to the website of cabinet and you will see this message “Page is under construction. Please try later” (see).



Cabinet of Illusion

By Kamangir • Dec 13th, 2005 • Category: Iran

I prefer to call the new Iranian cabinet, the cabinet of illusion. See how the new minister of science talks about the experienes of Ahmadinejad in Saudi Arabia (see). Take this as an example:
به گفته زاهدي احمدي نژاد قسم مي‌خورد و مي‌گفت كه يكي از سران آن كشورها پيش وي آمده بود و اصرار كه [...]
