Entry 9,526 in the 'Are You Shitting Me?' File

Iran Cracks Down on Mannequins

A spokesman for the city's judiciary, who asked not be named, explained the drive would tackle problems of "public chastity." He said 65 mannequins have been impounded so far.
He explained the crack-down on tailors' dummies was part of a larger offensive against anti-social behavior such as vandalism and biker gangs.

Frankly I'm surprised it has taken this long.
Wood and plaster need to be reined in, people.
The way they...look at you. With their faces painted like hooors.
Something had to be done.

Damn. Just how "alluring" are these mannequins? They must have working parts! There must be a pretty sad state of affairs (no pun intended) in Iran if looking at dummies turns people on.

Sheesh.

Oh, and FIRST!

Posted by: Maranna on October 31, 2005 08:29 PM

Well, let's not kid ourselves about mannequins.

They are pure evil.

Posted by: Dave in Texas on October 31, 2005 08:48 PM

(parody) Allahu akbar! This is a great victory in the Islamic front against Imperialist Zionist Freemason Mannequins, seducing virile Muslim men with their plasticity resembling femininity, distracting them from assembling bombs with which to blow themselves up in the other fronts! Now there will be fewer biker gangs and vandals, too, thanks to the removal of the evil Mind Control Rays installed by the Fascist Zionist Imperialist Freemason agents! (/parody)

Well, the Basiji need something to do.

Iran is so . . . amusing.

Posted by: Muslihoon on October 31, 2005 08:48 PM

Iran has biker gangs?

Posted by: Bart on October 31, 2005 08:54 PM

In other news...Iran has biker gangs.

Apparently.

Posted by: Monty on October 31, 2005 08:54 PM

I plan on some R&R in Iran soon. Will the new mannequin law cause me problems when travelling with my carry on items? I am speaking specifically of my inflatable sheep with crotchless burka? I want to go through the customs express line upon arrival in Tehran. Please Ace, do not let other infidels read this post. Thank you and Allah Akbar!!!

Posted by: Jihadgene on October 31, 2005 08:55 PM

Bart, we're like Mike and Ike. We think alike!

Posted by: Monty on October 31, 2005 08:55 PM

I can't imagine Iranian bikers. Do they even have bars at where they hang out and be general nuissances to the public?

Monty, have you thought of this: What's a biker gang without biker chicks? There ain't no way that there Iranians chicks riding on the back of motorcycles flashing their tits.

Posted by: Bart on October 31, 2005 09:09 PM

Fortunately I posted a photo of Iranian biker gangs back in August:

'Burka' gangs. (translation error)

Posted by: on October 31, 2005 09:18 PM

Geezer.
Oh my.
That comment on your site is something else.

Posted by: lauraw on October 31, 2005 09:23 PM

Burka gangs!
Very good.

Yep, Geezer, that's about how I'd picture an Arab biker.

Posted by: Bart on October 31, 2005 09:29 PM

Strangely enough all the mannequins I saw in Kuwait and most of the ones I saw in Bahrain all prominent nipples.

Like pencil erasers. On a cold cold day. In Minnesota. In January.

Posted by: Kevin on October 31, 2005 09:31 PM

Wow. We made it this long without a single reference to Andrew McCarthy and Kim Cattrall.

Impressive.

Cheers,

Well I learned to inportant things from this story.

Iran has "Biker Gangs".
And "Tailors' Dummies" are the root cause of said biker gangs.

Man if only we would have known that back in the 60's. We could have saved a lot young rebels from the syren call of the women's department at Sears.

Sounds like the Iranians have seen one Doctor Who episode too many.

Fellas - the Autons are just fiction!

(at least, that's what we evil, imperialistic war mongers WANT them to think:)

Lookin' in your eyes I see a paradise
This world that I've found is too good to be true
Standin' here beside you, want so much to give you
This love in my heart that I'm feelin' for you

Let 'em say we're crazy, I don't care about that
Put your hand in my hand, baby, don't ever look back
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby, we can make it if we're heart-to-heart

And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now, whoa no

I'm so glad I found you, I'm not gonna lose you
Whatever it takes, I will stay here with you
Take you to the good times, see you through the bad times
Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do

Let 'em say we're crazy, what do they know
Put your arms around me, baby, don't ever let go
Let the world around us just fall apart
Baby, we can make it if we're heart-to-heart

And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us, ooh

All that I need is you
All that I ever need
And all that I want to do
Is hold you forever, forever and ever, Hey

And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us

Build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us now

And we can build this dream together
Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now
And if this world runs out of lovers
We'll still have each other
Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us

It's just a test. Every once in a while, every blue moon. Reuters lets slip out a true story, a clear snapshot of the insanity behind the Islamic curtain.

Ya know .... let's see if anyone is really paying attention to our stupid sh*t? Reading it even. We'll fook with 'em, and they won't even know it, by slipping in a true one.

Next one should be in ..... oh 2182 a.d. I think.

Posted by: Elmo on October 31, 2005 10:21 PM

Mahmoud:

I'm gonna have to punch you in the throat for that. Nothing personal.

Posted by: Monty on October 31, 2005 10:40 PM

Monty - heh.

I posted that.

Blame Dave at GR for bringing up "Mannequin."

Posted by: Slublog on October 31, 2005 10:44 PM

...the neck-punch stands.

Sorry, Slublog, but I let shit like that slide and Western Civilzation falls. (Jefferson Starship. Pfft. I'll drive that goddam starship right up Grace Slick's drug-addled ass.)

Posted by: Monty on October 31, 2005 10:49 PM

Perfectly understandable.

I await the punishment.

Posted by: Slublog on October 31, 2005 11:16 PM

Well, it's about damn time!

Posted by: Nickie Goomba on November 1, 2005 11:00 AM

While the anti-mannequin sentiment is understandable, let's not forget other stuff that Iran is cracking down on (courtesy LGF).

Lost Seventies Mystery Click: The Darkest Song Ever Recorded?
I think Professor of Rock (on YouTube) claimed this song was so upsetting that people used to pull over to the side of the road when it came on the radio. It's about a fatal plane crash, but obviously it suggests a fatal car crash too, which could wig out a driver.
It's like one of those nasty 70s anti-war body horror movies. Not for the squeamish. I'm not even going to post the lyrics because they're upsetting too.

At least the thing still runs

As long as you look so cute
Believe these hills are starting to roll
Believe these stars are starting to shoot

Forgotten 80s Mystery Click: Garrett's Favorite Band Edition
Everybody wants you

I'd just like to make you mine, all mine
I'm frankly surprised the title is 107 Days. I would have thought it would be:

Days Are Important: The Amount of Days Was a Number and That Number Was 100 Plus 7 Which is 107. 107. One Hundred and Seven. It's a Memoir and Memoirs are About Remembering Things Because Remembering Things is Good. Not Bad. Good. Memoir. A Memoir. Like a Reservoir But With Memory. We Have to Let it Flow. We Have to Let It Flow Into the Reservoir of Our Mind and Our Heart. Our Heart Which is the Beating Heart of Not Just Our Blood, But Our Progress. And Our People. And Democracy. The End.

Soft weak poop from the early 80s Mystery Click

Nobody gets it like they want it to be (nobody, nobody)
Nobody hands you any guarantee (nobody, nobody)

Former CIA operative John Kiriakou talks with Matt Taibbi about the Brennan/Comey Coup
Both guys are old liberals, maybe even of the far-left variety, and both are appalled by the Democrat/Deep State coup against the US. Kiriakou says that CIA officers were legally obligated to report to the Inspector General John Brennan's repeated overruling of actual intelligence to encode his partisan conspiracy theories into US intel product, but of course they didn't.
