Here's how Iranian censors embellished a Versace spread in Wallpaper, Sept. 2005. As Heidi Klum says, "You are either in, or you're out." The mullahs want you in. Check out j/turn's collection of censored magazines -- the pettiness is mind-boggling.
J/turn found a little sweetness and light in his travels as well. This young lady, a sports store employee faced with an absence of Puma company wimples, embroidered her own:
I used to buy motorcycle magazines from shops in Riyadh that were censored the exact same way.

It's amazing that people actually spend their time doing stuff like this.

It just dawned on me where we made our big mistake in Iraq.. After neutralizing their military our guys shouldnt have kept shooting... we should have shipped in a load of porn and chicks..
These have got to be the most sexually repressed people in the world.. It's amazing there are so many of them.. What, does a knee look a bit to much like a boob and give them an all day woody or something?
They fight cuz when they get to heaven they get laid..
If we'd have just had KBR flood Baghdad and the few other cities of any size with porn, online sex sites, lap dance clubs, cheap motels and hot hookers.. then taxed the income.. they'd all be mellow and westernized and could have paid for the invasion with tax income.. Islam would have been finished.. They'd all be converting so they could just go to church on Sunday, get absolved, tithe their 10% then go back to the sin for 6 days..
Another example of poor planning from Team Bush.. More than happy to see the American Working Class screwed by multinational corporations (and without so much as a reacharound)but Lord, dont let those Iraqi's get any punani..
