Iranian TV Censors Michelle’s Oscar Dress
Guardian
Iran‘s semi-official Fars news agency Photoshopped pictures of Michelle Obama at the Oscars to conform to Iranian restrictions on images of the female body in the media.
Fars, which is affiliated to the Islamic republic’s elite Revolutionary Guards, redesigned the US first lady’s dress so that it covered her chest and shoulders in a picture showing her announcing that Argo had won best picture, via a video link from the White House.
Rules dictate that Iranian women shown on Iran’s state television should have a hijab that covers their hair, arms and legs.

This might be the first time the Iranians were right about something. I’d like to erase the picture from my mind of that fugly thing, but I’m afraid it is stuck there forever.

They screwed up their photoshopping. I can still see her face.

A burka would have been a real improvement.

Trust me, NOTHING to see here even if that dress was cut down to her navel.

I misread the last paragraph above.
At first glance, I thought it said “… should have a hijab that covers their HAIRY ARMS AND LEGS.”

If these guys are so sexually repressed that they feel the need to obscure that hideous excuse for a female, all we need to do I guess is drop a couple million Hustlers into Tehran huh?

Probably the first time I ever agreed with Islamic law – except they weren’t modest enough.

The Ayatollah also gave Mooch a thumbs down on the ‘do.
(And from his deathbed, Chavez declares Mooch a double bagger. Barri and Reg think that’s just hilarious)

Let’s not be hatin’ on Iranian (Persian) women.
From Scherezade on forward they’ve been noted for their beauty… which doesn’t say much for Iranian males.

Terrible Photoshop job. Even the Iranians know Chewie is supposed to wear a bandolier.
