Joke: “After Pope’s insulting comments about Islam, Pop Music is renamed as Rose-Water Music” Source: see).

Description:

1- After the famous Danish cartoons the Danish Cookie, which is very popular in Iran, was renamed to Rose-Water Cookie.

2- The flower from which Rose-Water is extracted is called Mohammad Flower (Persian: گل محمدي). The reason behind this naming returns to some beliefs about the prophet.

3- In Persian, Pope and Pop are translated similarly.

 

The text reads “Down with Denmark, Ban Danish Cookie”. (Source: see)

    The humor sense of Iranians are great. There are lots of more jokes:
    After the offensive Pop sayings, some of Lors start walking into Watikan ;)

    Hey, haven’t you heard about the “pop-corn”?
    After Pope’s insulting comments about Islam, pop-corn is renamed as its previous name: “chos-e-fil”! :))

    Lafcadio,
    Yes! I knew that but describing that joke for the average non-Iranian is not really possible! :)
