Entry 9,526 in the 'Are You Shitting Me?' FileIran 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. Frankly I'm surprised it has taken this long. posted by LauraW. at 08:22 PM
CommentsDamn. 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. Posted by: Maranna on October 31, 2005 08:28 PM
Oh, and FIRST! Posted by: Maranna on October 31, 2005 08:29 PM
Well, let's not kid ourselves about mannequins. 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: Posted by: Retired Geezer on October 31, 2005 09:13 PM

Geezer. Posted by: lauraw on October 31, 2005 09:23 PM
Burka gangs! 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, Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on October 31, 2005 09:59 PM
Well I learned to inportant things from this story. Iran has "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. Anty Posted by: Anty on October 31, 2005 10:11 PM
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:) Posted by: BattleofthePyramids on October 31, 2005 10:15 PM
Lookin' in your eyes I see a paradise Let 'em say we're crazy, I don't care about that And we can build this dream together I'm so glad I found you, I'm not gonna lose you Let 'em say we're crazy, what do they know And we can build this dream together All that I need is you And we can build this dream together Build this dream together And we can build this dream together Posted by: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on October 31, 2005 10:15 PM
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). Posted by: apotheosis on November 1, 2005 11:05 AM

Oh no! Hamas' de facto press agent at the UN complains that she can't use her credit cards or rent a card now that she's been sanctioned as a terrorist operative
Why does this keep happening to members of the "political organization" (per Tucker Carlson) of Hamas?!?!
Tucker Carlson claims that it's weird that Ted Cruz is interested in the massacre of Christians by Nigerian Muslims, because he has "no track record of being interested in Christians," then blows off the massacre of Christians by Nigerian Muslims, saying it might or might not be a real concern
Tucker Carlson enjoys using the left-wing tactic of "Tactical Ignorance" to avoid taking positions on topics. Is Hamas really a terrorist organization? Tucker can't say. He hasn't looked into it enough, but "it seems like a political organization to me." Are Muslims slaughtering Christians in Nigeria? Again, Tucker just doesn't know. He hasn't examined the evidence yet. He knows every Palestinian Christian who said he was blocked from visiting holy sites in Bethlehem, but he just hasn't had the time to look into the mass slaughter of Christians in Nigeria that has been going on since (checks watch) 2009. He doesn't know, so he can't offer an opinion. Wouldn't be prudent, you know? Don't rush him! He'll sift through the evidence at some point in the future and render an opinion sometime around 2044. Of course, if you need an opinion on Jewish Perfidy, he has all the facts at his fingertips and can give you a fully informed opinion pronto. Say, have you ever heard of the USS Liberty incident...? You'd think that the main issue for Tucker Carlson, who pretends to be so deeply concerned about Palestinian Christians being bullied by Jews in Israel (supposedly), would be the massacre of 185,000 Christians in Nigeria itself. But no, his main problem is that Ted Cruz is talking about it, "who has no track record of being interested in Christians at all." And then he just shrugs as to whether this is even a real issue or not. Whatever we do we must never "divide the right," huh? Tucker is attacking Ted Cruz for bringing the issue up because he's acting as an apologist for Jihadism, and he can't cleanly admit that Jihadists are killing any Christians, anywhere. There is no daylight between him and CAIR at this point. One might conclude that Tucker Carlson himself isn't interested in the plight of Christians -- except as they can be used as a cudgel to attack Jews. Just gonna ask an Interesting Question myself -- why is it that Tucker Carlson's arguments all track with those shit out by Qatarian propaganda agents and the far left? That if Jews crush an ant underfoot it is worldwide news, but when Muslims slaughter Christians it elicits not even a vigorous shrug?
Garth Merenghi is interviewed by the only man who can fathom his ineffable brilliance -- Garth Merenghi
From the comments: I once glimpsed Garth in the penumbra betwixt my wake and sleep. He was in my dream, standing afar, not looking my way, nor did he acknowledge me. But I felt seen. And that's when I knew I was a traveler on the right path. I'm glad he's still with us. Now that's some Merenghian prose. Garth Merenghi on the writer's craft Greetings, Traveler. If you still have not experienced Garth Merenghi -- Author, Dream-weaver, Visionary, plus Actor -- the six episodes of his Darkplace are still available on YouTube and supposedly upscaled to HD. (Viewing it now, it doesn't appeared upscaled for shit.) I think the second episode, "Hell Hath Fury," is the best by a good margin. Try to at least watch through to that one. It's Mereghi's incisive but nuanced take on sexism.
Update on Scott Adams:
Scott Adams had approval for this cancer drug but they hadn't scheduled him to get it. He was taking a turn for the worse. Trump had told him to call if he needed anything, so he did. Talked to Don Jr (who is in Africa) , then RFK Jr, then Dr Oz. Someone talked to Kaiser and he was scheduled. Shouldn't have needed it but he did and he says it saved his life.
