Yes, many folks love to jump over bonfires and throw equivalent quarter sticks of dynamite on Chaharshanbeh Souri. And there are those who condemn Iranian authorities for their attempts to discourage these hazardous- albeit fun for the young- practices; including Supreme Leader Khamenei's appeal to Islamic sensibilities, however potentially unpopular, in the name of public safety.
Well, have a look at a few of the dozens of injuries treated every year in Iran for- let's face it- what is obviously an extremely risky practice in a modern metropolitan setting.

You are as fake as your scars
by میرزاقلندر on Wed Mar 17, 2010 05:32 PM PDTYou are as dumb as any click-for-hire.
I want your response, if any, in FARSI
by Peter Pan on Wed Mar 17, 2010 05:19 PM PDTYour anecdote, your father's cousin, and all the great story of your half-Iranian ancestry do not help you here.
THE TOP PHOTO IS A FAKE.

I've an anecdote to share.
by Sargord Pirouz on Wed Mar 17, 2010 05:05 PM PDTI've an anecdote to share. When I was a teenager, I had to have a minor operation performed on one of my fingers, at a Tehran hospital. My father's cousins were Iranian doctors (one was a woman) and I was set up accordingly.
Back then, anesthesia and sterility procedures in Iran were not what they are today. Even so, I'm able to say I've encountered a fraction of the experience shown by the unfortunate young man in the top photo. And to this day, I carry around the scar from that operation.
Young and dumb- most of us have been there.
Major's blunder!
by Peter Pan on Wed Mar 17, 2010 04:51 PM PDTThe top photo seems photoshopped, the head's shadow on the pillow, the shape of the head, etc. look fake.
What forced you to relay a fake onto IC?
The same images can be used for glorification of heroism against some fictional enemies. Save 'em, Maj.
