I wonder if.......

by Benyamin on Tue Sep 28, 2010 03:45 PM PDT

Facebooke made Ahmadinejad to call  people "khas o khashak"?

I wonder if Facebook made Janatti the imam of jome to say " please execute more and thank you for the ones you(judiciary) already executed"?

I wonder if Facebook told the islamist thugs to kill innocent young people in silance demonstration?

I wonder if Facebook made the animalistic  islamists to rape and torture the defenceless youths men or women in their jails?

I wonder if Facebook is the reason over 50% of people in Iran live in absolute poverty?

I wonder if Facebook is the reason the Islamic Government have not been able to develope Iran for about 30 years? even though the inventor of Facebook is younger than the IRI but I can imagine his parents were jewish so they consumated just because they wanted to bit the shit out of the IRI????

It is everyone elses incompetancy but the IRI, everyone else is responsible for every and any problem that IRI faces except the IRI itself.

ZEPERESHK!!!

Legit logo

Tavana, Majeleh Khabari (part of akhbar e shabekeh yek) is a shabakeh aval e sima program broadcast around 7 PM.

Here's the program's logo in a program about diabetics in Iran (3 million!?); The logo is the same as in the video above.

Then how come?

by Ari Siletz on Tue Sep 28, 2010 11:34 AM PDT

If Facebook is such a great way to gather info on the population (which it is) then how come some IRI proxy doesn't start its own internet social forum for the same purpose in Iran?

Maybe for the following reasons:

1. Few Iranians would use it. In the US there is still some justification to think that the government (or the corporate infrastructure commanding it) is uninterested in the legal private affairs of individual citizens. Bird's eye view on a social scale maybe--buying habits, attitude towards various policies and events, etc), but not whether Faati Khanoum runs a business in the back seat of her husband's car.

2. Being a free (though watched) forum, Facebook is a realistic snapshot of American society, a social mirror. Whereas the IRI's monopoly on power depends on Iranians not seeing their true reflection but the image the IRI wants them to see.

همونطور که مساجد در دوران قبل از انقلاب تبلیغ میکردند که پپسی نجس است حالا دارند تبلیغ میکنند که فیسبوک و تویتر نجسند.  ولی‌ خنده‌دارترین قسمت این برنامه (غیر از سه قلوهای آخر برنامه) لقب دادن به بنیانگذار فیسبوک بود: یهودی بی‌خدا!

this is so hilarious

This is one of those videos that unintentionally is very funny. These people act as if they don't understand that after years of Internet, these sites are natural progression of it.
