In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act
Notice that on AN's picture the poem has been changed. The word میمون has been changed to زیبای
Seems like even his followers realize his resemblance to a monkey and feel obliged to change words of a famous poet to accommodate AN. With wealth of Iranian poems including Sa'di it is amazing they could not find another passage to use without bastardizing the original. But then again:
نیش عقرب نه از ره کین است
Here is the original un-abused poem
بخت بازآید از آن در که یکی چون تو درآید
روی میمون تو دیدن در دولت بگشاید
صبر بسیار بباید پدر پیر فلک را
تا دگر مادر گیتی چو تو فرزند بزاید
این لطافت که تو داری همه دلها بفریبد
وین بشاشت که تو داری همه غمها بزداید
رشکم از پیرهن آید که در آغوش تو خسبد
زهرم از غالیه آید که بر اندام تو ساید
نیشکر با همه شیرینی اگر لب بگشایی
پیش نطق شکرینت چو نی انگشت بخاید
گر مرا هیچ نباشد نه به دنیا نه به عقبی
چون تو دارم همه دارم دگرم هیچ نباید
دل به سختی بنهادم پس از آن دل به تو دادم
هر که از دوست تحمل نکند عهد نپاید
با همه خلق نمودم خم ابرو که تو داری
ماه نو هر که ببیند به همه کس بنماید
گر حلالست که خون همه عالم تو بریزی
آن که روی از همه عالم به تو آورد نشاید
چشم عاشق نتوان دوخت که معشوق نبیند
پای بلبل نتوان بست که بر گل نسراید
سعدیا دیدن زیبا نه حرامست ولیکن
نظری گر بربایی دلت از کف برباید

manny, indeed only photoshop job is you
by Hovakhshatare on Wed Jan 06, 2010 09:14 AM PSTYou are fake through and through. It is your conscience and morality that is fake.
Indeed perfect Photoshop artwork
by mannya2001 on Wed Jan 06, 2010 06:57 AM PSTOnce I became aware of the photoshop done to the Khamenie poster as well as the placard by one of the female protestors, I have to say that all such photos are ones that raise alot of suspicion.
Afterall, with video clip arriving overseas in the thousands, why is it that such photos also taken by phone camera (most likely) are not video taped??

Love it! Just like when they wrote the above verse in all school books. The books were published with that verse in the preface for years :)
Actually, the guy who made this is more clever than I originally
by Hovakhshatare on Tue Jan 05, 2010 12:48 AM PSTthought. He can't lose. Think about it, what is AN & friends gonna say to him... We caught you and you are dead meat unless you replace زیبای with میمون ?
jj & Monda, I agree it fits the pattern regardless
by Hovakhshatare on Tue Jan 05, 2010 12:12 AM PSTbut I hope if it is a joke, the guy who did it has a solid excuse and can plead ignorance so he won't get in trouble. Although, AN and IRR have their hands full with Khaso Khashak, so likely no time to chase this down.
JJ I agree
by Monda on Tue Jan 05, 2010 12:09 AM PSTSubtle and true to IRI qualities.
A joke
by Jahanshah Javid on Tue Jan 05, 2010 12:03 AM PSTYou're right Hovakhshatare. The person who did it was probably making a subtle joke. Still, it fits in nicely with the Big Lie this regime has become.
Hah! Caught!
by Monda on Tue Jan 05, 2010 12:00 AM PSTGood one Hovakhhshatare :o)))
I think you agree that the surprising part is not that they did
by Hovakhshatare on Mon Jan 04, 2010 11:53 PM PSTit, but that they did it with Sa'di with whom Iranians are so well versed in. I wonder the guy who put it together did it as subtle joke, knowing it'll be caught :)
Monkey business
by Jahanshah Javid on Mon Jan 04, 2010 11:45 PM PSTThis is amazing. One of the better examples of how these guys distort in order to deceive. Thank you for posting.
