My favorite story of the week comes from one of my favorite places: the home of John Howard, AC/DC, Crocodile Dundee and Tim Blair.
There was a bit of a hub-bub on Iranian TV recently – over a toy monkey.
When the presenter of Amoo Pourang, a programme watched by millions of Iranian children three times a week on state TV, asked the name of the toy the boy had been given as a reward for behaving himself, the child replied: “Well, my father calls him Ahmadinejad.”
The show is now facing closure due to “spiritual and financial damage.”
H/T: The irrepressible Tim Blair.

Technically that would be slander… and the truth is a defense in the States. I wonder if Nutmadinejad throws his shit and picks nits.
Maybe the New York Post should print a picture of Ahmadinejad and see if Al Sharpton has a conniption.
Coming soon to a United States near you…….

Yikes! =S I’m worried about the boy’s father now.
No kidding. And good one on Sharpton. Where is Rangel to? Oh I remember hiding from the Feds again.

Are you accusing that Our Teleprompter Messiah is going to begin persecuting those who make fun of Him, or is this something you desire? (I suspect the latter, ’cause even most people on the Left have figured out that Chimpy McBushitlerburton ain’t the Community Organizer-in-Chief any more.)
Screw any totalitarian tactics by CiC Truth Squads. I’m more concerned about Sharia law infecting the States.
