Playboy in TV and Ayatollah against Music
Kamangir | May 12, 2007 | Category Iran
It is official, I am focusing on the funny aspects of the Islamic Republic. Today, Grand Ayatollah Safi Golpaiegani, one of the topmost Shia clerics, stated “donated schools must be used for teaching Islamic sciences”. He continued “these schools must not be used for things like music”. In the same day, the national television, which diligently censors and blurs improper clothing of women in movies, broadcast the Playboy logo. The Sports News in the state-run Channel II interviewed an injured soccer player. Well, the guy seems to have some immodest interests.

Its tough being an Iranian censor…there’s so much you have to know…
Indeed. T’is a sacrifice most worthy of praise. Similar, mayhap, to that of the eunuchs of old who stood guard at the harems.
One wonders, though… Do they truly lobotomize them or simply brainwash them?
