Iran Censors

I just stumbled upon this 2006 post on JTURN, a blog by 'Jonathan Lundqvist, "a masters student in Media and Communication Studies at JMK / Stockholm."  While in Iran,  Lundqvist purchased three magazines and scanned them for censorship.  The results are at least amusing, at best instructive about the mindset of this Islamo fascist regime.  The full post, with many more examples,  may be seen here.

The Economist, May 6 2006, Cover. The cover of the magazine that also had the previous picture in it. This cover is not censored, but included here to point out that the entire magazine is full of articles that are extremely critical to the regime. Leaders and op-ed’s that say that the Iranian regime is outright dangerous. Yet, that is not censored. Not one word of it. It’s all there. But the word “Playboy” is a no-go.

As an aside, without fail every hit from Iran I get is to some picture containing nipples.  STG.

You're on the ball HNAV

When I was stationed in Saudi Arabia I bought some cassette tapes from the guy that ran the souvenir, lighter, bootleg stand on Eskan Village. All of the ones that had chicks on the cover had black marker on the 'naughty bits' of skin exposed. One of the ones I bought was a bootleg of a Van Halen tape. They marked out David Lee Roth's chest area. Too funny! Maybe they couldn't tell which one he was.

I, too, loved the blacked out Pelosi moustache.
