Sharia update from Iran! "Alluring mannequins" are now verboten in Iran, and are being impounded. This is in the interests of public chastity, you see. After all, we can't have men falling for mannequins, can we? It might lead them to...join biker gangs!
You Can't Make This Stuff Up Alert: "City tackles titillating mannequins," from Reuters, with thanks to all who sent this in:
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Police in northeastern Iran are launching a new morality drive by confiscating alluring mannequins from boutiques and clothes stalls in the bazaar, authorities in the city of Bojnourd said on Monday.A spokesman for the city's judiciary, who asked not be named, explained the drive would tackle problems of "public chastity". Sixty five mannequins have been impounded so far.
He explained the crack-down on tailors' dummies was part of a larger offensive against anti-social behaviour such as vandalism and biker gangs.
The great thing about those fiberglass chicks is that when you torture them, you don't have to wear earplugs to drown out the screams.
Do the Mullahs keep the confiscated mannequins. I have my reservations as to why the Mullahs want the dummies; your guess is as good as mine.
When the "mullahs" do something this stupid ... it gives me a woody!
I'm sorry ... I had to say it ;)
A good laugh for the night
except it's no laughing matter,
not with blood splattered across the world
in the name of these mad mullahs
who hate women, see their nature as evil,
how disgusting these loathsome creatures,
waiting to swoop down
and pluck the woman seed
before it can flower.
These men are not human.
They are demons and hate life,
Coming soon to your local department store: Iranian jihadists. I have a recommendations for an alluring female mannequin: "Quick go to aisle 3 and pull out those bed linens to cover yourself up." At least a female mannequin you can't be stoned to death.
I kind of like my mannequin. Never argues, never says no and never asks for money. She is a little stiff, but we are working on that.
She cant cook and never does housework, but she compensates for that in 'other' ways. I can see why Tehran authorities are taking action. Mannequins make excellent 'biker babes'. I often put her on the back of my bike, fasten her arms around my chest and go for long romantic rides in the country. Thats ok for me, I'm an infidel. But for muslims this is a big no no...Allah takes a dim view of muslims on bikes with dummies strapped across their backs. There is no way a muslim can cavort around with a mannequin and jihad at the same time. It just cant be done.
If those mullahs want to sell those confiscated mannequins on E-bay, I might take a look...
When you outlaw mannequins; only outlaws will have mannequins.
I suppose there will now be some difficulty in importing these lovely "ladies" into Tehran. http://www.realdoll.com/
Too bad, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad could probably use one.
Mannequins are empty, shallow, and vapid. I can see why a Moslem Man would have thoughts.
Stiffs.
Has anyone thought the obvious? Why have mannequins when the women have to be covered from head to foot?
