Iranian wins Noble Literature Prize, or does she?
Posted by KamangirOct 12
Britain’s Doris Lessing wins 2007 Nobel Literature Prize, that’s what everyone knows. What only a few people have yet found out is the conspiracy to overshadow Iranians’ share in this prize. Surprised? Don’t be! Who do you think runs the media? Zionists and their fellow hate mongers do. Did you not know that?
Fars News, a state-run news agency, writes, “International News Agencies hid the Iranian Descent of Lessing”. “Although the first line in the biography of Lessing mentions her Iranian descent, Associated Press does not mention her birthplace, which is Iran, and also the years she has spent in Iran”, writes Fars [Persian].
In another piece Fars writes, “After 107 years, the Nobel Academy recognized an author who is born in Iran” [Persian]. In an answer to that, the Iranian blogger Ghoghnoos asks if being born in Iran from non-Iranian parents makes you have an Iranian descent [Persian]. I remember when Ebadi won the Peace Prize. There were even talks about arresting her for silly reasons. And, surprise! she was 100% Iranian.
Guys, This is not even funny!
Actually it is funny.
Kamangir: You really this this funny? ;(
I thought you were retiring ????? :-)
[...] British citizen and new Nobel Laureate Doris Lessing is now being claimed by Iran according to Kamangir. Apparently this another Zionist [...]
Now you can’t possibly be suggesting that the Islamic Republic of Iran is trying to get some sort of undue recognition from this, could you? I mean if I visit Iran and then later receive some sort of recognition for something surely Iran is due to bask in the glory along with me. After all if it were not for that wonderful influence I would receive within their borders I surely could never accomplish anything great.
But on without my sarcasm…
I suppose this is not a lot different than the photo published of the U.S. fighters jets in a story about Iranian air superiority or the [old] new missile.
It’s interesting that in the U.S. the media sucks because they can do whatever they want and have influence from the sponsors and big companies. While in Iran [and other nations] the media sucks because the state runs it and does whatever they want.
I guess the media just plain sucks. Thankfully we have the internet and reliable bloggers now so the majority of people can have access to more information with which to base their conclusions on.
That’s pretty funny…
If they are going to say that she’s Iranian then I can say that AN is the missing link…cause he just looks like it and she was JUST born in Iran…she’s Iranian and he’s a half-breed.
I don’t really know what makes the Iranian media happier…bullshitting or bullshitting. It must be really exciting times for their papers (keyhan, fars, etc…) to be able to write about Lessing’s name:
“Beigam-banu Lavasani” HAHA! is that an oxymoron? kurdish and turkish at the same time?
and I loved reading Ghoghnoos’s translation of Lessing
Gee. Do you think Iran should actually BRAG about being such a sh*tty place that a Nobel Prize winner wants to live somewhere else?
OK – it was probably her parents that decided to live somewhere else. (Although I notice she didn’t exactly rush to move back.) Either way, I think chasing talented people away is the sort of thing that I’d want to keep quiet about.
