    This will only work if the entire population of Iran is made of nerds.

    I love how they bitch and moan about American culture but when it comes to trying to placate their populace they have no qualms about utilizing our 'evil media.'


    Hypocrites.

    I had friends who did this. They stayed in for an entire weekend, smoked weed, ate chips, and watched all three "Lord of the Rings" movies - the extended editions, mind you. They called it "Tokin' with Tolkien."

    I'm just venturing to guess irony doesn't translate well in Iran. They don't seem to be the most humorous bunch.

    "We're putting a call into New Line to see if Iran even has the rights to put the flicks on state television."


    uh, huh...I'm sure Iran will be totally responsive to that call, and I'm positive they'll respect New Line's rights.

    They will show a slightly modified version in which all the satanic infidels are incinerated in a single fiery holocaust from the heavens.
