By Kamangir • May 23rd, 2008 • Category: Features, Humour, Iran

A satirical post by “35 degree“,
Do you carry condoms?
It is a lot fun to buy a condom in Iran! Of course, I agree with you that not only it is a hard thing to do, but also it could cause trouble for you. But, just for the sake of argument, let’s look at it differently. [...]

Why bombing Iran is a Must

By Kamangir • Apr 7th, 2008 • Category: Features, Humour, Lead Story, media

Camels do not run on nukes. That, alone, is sufficient to prove that the Iranian theology is pursuing nuclear bombs.

This is the article I wrote for the joke version of The Manitoban, the University of Manitoba students’ newspaper.

The International Fajr Film Festival has been a prominent part of the celebration of the Islamic Revolution since 26 years ago. Since then, every year, the cold February days see a lot of new movies competing against each other. The event also includes discussions about the participating films and a lot of other social events.



“Do Ayatollahs fart?”, My latest piece in The Manitoban

By Kamangir • Jan 30th, 2008 • Category: Features, Humour, Iran, Islam, Islamic Republic

When I wrote an article for my Persian blog on how the Islamic Republic of Iran benefits from glorifying the Ayatollahs into holy figures, I had no idea that it would create such a backlash. The reactions, however, offer good insight into what Iran’s main problem is. It is neither Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad nor the Ayatollahs who have “corrupted” Iran, as some people suggest. The core problem is the corrupted framework of thought with which the Ayatollahs have infested Iran.

Press TV’s Latest, and Funniest, Mistake

By Kamangir • Dec 29th, 2007 • Category: Humour, Iran, Israel

Do you think there is any chance for any professional news source to mistake a photoshopped image for a real one? Well, if it is Press TV, the answer is yes.

Too Sexy for the Islamic Republic

By Kamangir • Oct 31st, 2007 • Category: Human Rights, Humour, Iran, Islamic Republic

Minoudar (مینودر), a weekly magazine published in Qazvin province, was outlawed recently. According to the Iranian blogger Alikhani [Persian], the only reason mentioned yet is this hair salon ad, carried in an issue published two years ago. The actual reason, however, might be the magazine’s criticism of the governor of Qazvin for assigning his wife [...]



Ahmadinejad Pumpkin for Halloween

By Kamangir • Oct 30th, 2007 • Category: Humour, Iran, Islamic Republic

My idea for this Halloween was massively rejected by Azadeh and another friend, for being “silly, nerdy, and not funny at all”. Therefore, with apologies to those who have already seen this last year, in “The Bogeyman, Or Ahmadinejad Pumpkin for Halloween“, I post last year’s Halloween pictures again.
It all started with a “smiling” picture [...]

“They brutally attack and slaughter mothers and children, all, at once. There is no creature more horrible that these people”. This was how a guest on a TV show on the state-run Channel 3 was introducing the Israelis to the spectators when the studio experienced a blackout. Accidentally, the microphones were not lost and the [...]



Iranian wins Noble Literature Prize, or does she?

By Kamangir • Oct 12th, 2007 • Category: Humour, Iran, Islamic Republic

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?

Solid Proof that Israelis are Paranoid

This is mainly for the attention of people like Roman Kalik who deceive us all into thinking that the Islamic Republic wants to harm Israel in any way. Look at this picture (source). This is solid proof that what Ahmadinejad wants to be annihilated is “Esrail”, and not Israel. To the best information of Google, [...]
