“After a certain age every man is responsible for his face.” -- Albert Camus
Many have commented about how unusually ugly Ahmadinejad is. But far from being an exception, ugliness seems to be so prevalent among the Islamic Republic leaders that it makes one wonder if it is a requirement. Here is a collection of 8 Iranian leaders that were singled out in 2010 for specific U.S. sanctions against them. So I did not select these people for being more ugly than other IRI leaders. I could have easily picked 30 other high ranking IRI leaders who are just as ugly.
Iranian people are very rarely this ugly. You could walk all day in one of Iranian cities without seeing anyone matching their hideousness. Theirs is not the ordinary ugly. These people have a different type of ugly, a kind of bone deep foulness that is rare in the general public. I have only seen this kind of grotesqueness on the faces of certain murderers. There is a heaviness to their ugliness. Their faces are not just ugly, they are frightening. These are the faces shaped by years of murder and torture. The ugly thoughts and efforts have left their mark on their faces, especially the eyes. The light of humanity in their eyes has been replaced by the dead stare of predatory animals. They have ended up with faces that they deserve. It is ugliness of the soul that is truly required to make one a Hizbullahi.

Arash, Depends on what you mean by influence
by Doost daaram pas hastam on Wed Feb 22, 2012 06:12 PM PSTI agree that we are still suffering a lot due to the invasion of our homeland by Arabs. It did the most damage to our country in a cultural sense. But we can not continue to blame current day Arabs for our problems. It is our own countrymen who are committing these crimes. Their minds have been corrupted by Arab Muslim mindset of 1400 years ago, but they are still responsible for their own actions. Today our enemies are not the Arabs. It is the Mullahs and their followers. They come in all races. What they all have in common is how ugly they are.
You forgot ahmadinejad!
by Arash Kamangir on Wed Feb 22, 2012 06:47 AM PSTThis ugliness came to Iran after the Arab invasion and I can only think that the arabs massraped iranian women ( similar to mass rapes in Germany after russian invaded Germany in 1945). Theses pictures show clearly the arab influence.

Thanks
by Doost daaram pas hastam on Sat Feb 18, 2012 08:33 AM PSTSofiaM for your kind words. But I am not being courageous. I am using a pseudonym. I think it is prudent. Given the mentality and past history of the IRI there is no telling what they would do to their opponents if given a chance. I chose not to put my family and myself in danger if it can be avoided.
Amirkabear4u, you may be right about the ugliness being deliberate. I recall the Nazi SS officers had a skull and bones on their caps. That was deliberate and meant to scare people. These faces do not require those embellishments. But I do not agree with your other point about these faces being the result of poverty. I have seen the faces of plenty of poor people in Iran. They just look poor. They do not look any more or less beautiful than others and only extremely rarely they look this ugly and frightening. Also the new generation of Hezbollahis , those in their 30s and 40s have had a prosperous life from childhood, but the ugliness trend continues.

Good point DDPH
by amirkabear4u on Sat Feb 18, 2012 01:35 AM PSTIt is maybe because;
1- It is deliberate and they scare people. Governments that have nothing to offer their citizens prefer this tactic.
2- Also again deliberate to create a bad name for Iran and Iranians.
2- Come from a very low family background in the past that they did not even have a mirror to see to themselves!!! (was not joking)

by SofiaM on Fri Feb 17, 2012 10:05 AM PSTI think we need more of this on Iranian.com, and less "bubble-wrap" on the reality, if you will. Good job on making a statement, I applaud your courage. It takes a certain level of courage to call out the Hezbolahis on this forum, considering this site is FLOODED with them, ans IRI agents...
Keep it up! i support!

will have a better parody. Unfortunately you are continuing to use Ahmadi's homoerotic photo. If you prefer you can email me directly to

by Doost daaram pas hastam on Tue Feb 14, 2012 08:18 PM PSTYou
need to tone it down. Here is an example of acting too dumb (even for
a Hezbollahi) to be believable. You keep saying that it is getting
late and your wife is complaining and this should continue tomorrow.
And of course the next morning you continue. Then you go on saying
“lives
of some poor iranian men living in the west is not mine.” trying to
make us believe you write from Iran which does not jibe with the time
difference and filtering of Iranian.com website. So you need to make
up something like you are visiting some mosque in Canada to spread
Islam there. That would solve the problem with all these
inconsistencies. You have to embody the person you are parodying.
Have a back story. Research, research.
glad u like it
by مآمور on Tue Feb 14, 2012 08:10 PM PSTI see, u know every thing and understand every subject, but let me educate u. In inner circle of IRI supporters we dont call ourselves, any more, hezbollahie. The name has been reserved for our brothers in Lebano.
those pics of yours are iranian officials and people like me are called pro-IRI.
on that note, every pro-IRI I know has almost perfect family life, with the man works a honest job and is not involved in drug trade, most women work-if not bringing up a baby- dont have boyfirends on side and kids go to school and dont smoke weed!!!
On the other camp, the opposition, from extrem left Ashraf camp to extrem right Reza pahlavi, ...............let me not say any thing.

by Doost daaram pas hastam on Tue Feb 14, 2012 07:14 PM PSTI am not sure what you mean by looking white. Some Iranians have light skins and light color hair and some have darker hair and skin, often in the same family. In the ancient times they have described classic Persian beauty to be porcelin white skin with black eyes and hair. We are a country of mixed races and they show themselves in our population. There is Iranian beauty in all skin colors. So I am not sure I agree there is a "classic Iranian" look anymore.
I have no hatred in my heart for Arabs and believe those who do to be racists. I do, however, understand the need for Iranians to revive Persian culture. The far bigger problem is that we have a regime that from its very inception has tried very hard to destroy Persian culture and replace it with Arabic. So as unfortunate as they are, I see the occasional overzealousness of some Iranians in defending Persian culture and language as a natural reaction to that.
At the risk of repeating myself this whole thing is not about which skin color looks good and which one is ugly. That would be a total misunderstanding of my blog. I have a far deepr concern. The issue I am addresssing here is the awfulness that descends on a face after years of committing horrors. Try to look deep into their eyes. Do you see a trace of humanity left there? That is the deeper question that we need to ask.

by Sadegh Bozorgmehr on Tue Feb 14, 2012 06:34 PM PSTI think we're in agreement but allow me to clarify a few things. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having Avesta names and if anything it is good. The problem is the excessive obsession with using ancient Iranian names, ancient Iranian words, and other things of that nature at the expense of everything else, including gross hate of anything Middle Eastern or Arab or Muslim or for that matter substantive opposition to the IRI.
There is nothing sick about dressing Western either. Most of us do. But just as looking scruffy shouldn't be key to climbing the ladder of success, so too should looking white as opposed to looking classically Iranian not be a factor.
I have been to more political meetings of Iranians in the diaspora to care to remember. The insistence of Shahis to quibble and fight over every word in group platforms to ensure there is no Arabic words, their almost singleminded focus on names, flags, and inserting of hatred against Arabs is sickening.
It shows the incredible shallowness of their thinking. And the obsession over looking white, which I'm afraid is rampant among a lot of Iranians, is related to some underlying insecurity in my view.
Sadegh
by Doost daaram pas hastam on Tue Feb 14, 2012 05:43 PM PSTI do not see anything wrong with someone having an "Avesta" name. Those names are part of our rich and ancient history. That is a way of taking pride in one's national heritage. I myself do not have an ancient Persian name but I wish I did. Things like names and clothes matter. Of course it would be a mistake to make them more important than they need to be. We should also watch out for national chauvinism.
I do not think there was anything "sick" about looking modern(Western) in one's attire to advance in the previous regime's bureaucracy. If you go around the world in ancient countries from China and Japan to most modern countries the western business attire is the only standard. And actually they are considered universal modern attire for the white collar class.
But finally the deeper question is the mark left on the faces of these men after their horrendous misdeeds. For 33 years IRI has systematically killed, imprisoned and tortured tens of thousands of innocent Iranians. There have been thousands of Hizbullahis who performed these acts. It is my assertion that these deeds have left their mark on their faces and created a frighteningly vile appearance.
It's a right of entry
by Sadegh Bozorgmehr on Tue Feb 14, 2012 05:02 PM PSTBeing ugly, uncouth, unshaven, these are rights of entry to government success in Iran. It's a sick way of thinking. To be fair though, looking Western was the right of entry under the Shah. That mentality is also sick. My problem with Shahis today is that they're whole universe is about surface issues like looks, having Avesta names, things like that. If the IRI suddenly changed it's outward appearance I'm sure many Shahis would drop their objections.
Mamoor study Andy Kaufman
by Doost daaram pas hastam on Tue Feb 14, 2012 09:49 AM PSTHere
is a video of one of Andy Kaufman performances where he was parodying
professional wrestlers. As a budding performance artist, Andy can
teach you a lot. He was one of the bests. He researched his roles so
he could embody them. Decades later there are still people who think
he was being serious.

That is a nice touch.
by Doost daaram pas hastam on Tue Feb 14, 2012 08:51 AM PST"A pro-IRI's wife of Iranian descent will make her husbamd care." That is a nice touch. You are portraying a sensitive romantic Hezbollahi. Go with it and own it. Still you really should listen to my earlier advice. By all means act ignorant and obtuse but if you exaggerate the ignorance and obtuseness too much, they way you have been the past few days, it won't be believable. It is a question of balance.
domt undermine iranian women
by مآمور on Tue Feb 14, 2012 07:49 AM PSTA pro-IRI's wife of Iranian descent will make her husbamd care. dont think because, they dont wear sexy outfits and dont go " vooooo, I m american, canadian, british...........I m free to do what I want" like some of our dear ladies who recently immigrated to the west and lost their identities!!!!!! yet they dont take shit from their husbands.
personally, when I see some of those ladies, I start appreciating my Mamoreh wife. thanks god , we r still muslim and lives of some poor iranian men living in the west is not mine.

by Doost daaram pas hastam on Tue Feb 14, 2012 06:32 AM PSTWow very similar sentiments. But let's face it neither of us is really making a new discovery here. As Iranians we have always been shocked and embarrassed with the depth, breadth and intense ugliness of Hezbollahi face.
Mamoor
by Doost daaram pas hastam on Tue Feb 14, 2012 06:27 AM PSTDear I really appreciate what you are trying to do. It is a great idea as performance art. I think Andy Kaufman did similar stuff. But as I said before, to be believable as a genuine Hezbollahi you need to tone it down a bit (no funny homoerotic pictures of Ahmadinejad). Increase your knowledge by hanging out in Hezbollahi chat room so for example you know what a Hezbollahi is. Also a true Hezbollahi would never, ever give a damn whether the wife is in the mood or not. Good luck in your project.

politic at its peak
by مآمور on Mon Feb 13, 2012 08:55 PM PSTwhat u r saying is the war of words in the iranian political factions. they go after each other just to trash each other reputations and make themselves look good. it happens all over the place.
my scale to judge if Ahmadi has bben a finacially honest man is to measure his wealth, which we already know, prior of his election in 2006 and after he leaves the office in 2014.
I bet my omega watch on it.

by Doost daaram pas hastam on Mon Feb 13, 2012 08:47 PM PSTI am surprised that you call Ahmadinejad "my boss" if you do not work for him. You repeat "my boss" several times in your post. I just have never seen anybody call someone "my boss" unless they work for him. So what is it that I am missing? Is there a connection between that and the fact you call yourself "Mamoor"?
By the way how can you access Iranian.com in Iran? It is filtered in Iran. I hope you are not using any illegal tools to get around these censors that are there protect you from being exposed to corrupting influences that you can find here. What if you lose your faith? It has happened before you know.
