Digging For That Silver Lining
By Mitch Berg
On the one hand, Iran wants to start executing people involved in the pr0n industry.
With a 148-5 vote in favor and four abstentions, lawmakers present at the Wednesday session of the 290-seat parliament approved that “producers of pornographic works and main elements in their production are considered corruptors of the world and could be sentenced to punishment as corruptors of the world.”
The term, “corruptor of the world” is taken from the Quran, the Muslims’ holy book, and ranks among the highest on the scale of an individual’s criminal offenses. Under Iran’s Islamic Penal Code, it carries a death penalty.
The “main elements” refered to in the draft include producers, directors, cameramen and actors involved in making a pornographic video.
Now, I don’t care a whole lot for pr0n; obviously this is a bit much.
Still, I could almost justify it if they’d include the producers of those gawdawful “disaster pr0n” specials on the History Channel.
I’d call it about square then.

You know… I’m just a little curious as to what constitutes Iranian pr0n. On one hand, Iranian women are HOT. On the other hand, if the kind of guys who get into pr0n in the US are anything like the guys who get into pr0n in Iran they probably have nothing on Ron Jeremy. (You can almost see the long, wavy hair, Mid East styled pr0n music, sets on a budget, etc.)
The more things change, the more they stay the same. 😉
