Being a middle aged Iranian woman, I enjoy watching the true crime investigation TV show called 48 hours. It's one of my few pleasures in life besides making fruit preserves and guessing the Daily Doubles.
Occasionally, a few Iranians have popped up on the show throughout the years. Recently a very sweet Iranian student came up as the innocent roommate on an episode about the big loan scammer "Esther Reed" who was recently caught after 10 years.
On Saturday night, a jackpot episode came my way. Usually I have Saturday Night Fever so I go to bridge club, but it was Valentine's day and most of the bats have lovers and all I have is a fish.
During this episode, the producers of 48 hours went to the "hot spots" (The Sunset Room, Spaago) in Los Angeles with hidden cameras in their dashboard "speakers" to see if their bow-tied Valet would dare steal $10 USD or $400 black plastic sunglasses. Guess the answer!
My favorite case involved a woman who hid her purse which contained $14,000 dollars under a smelly and large blue gym towel in the back seat of her Ford Focus.
4/5 of the Valets were sexy Iranian men who were shown stuffing their jeebs with (now very worthless) dollars. One of them tipped himself $7,000 USD from that lady's Ford Focus. When the camera crew caught up with him before the court proceedings, the camera man asked him "Why did you steal $7,000 from a car that was trusted to you?"
He flashed his dreamy Iranian eyes from under his rainbow Oakly glasses and said "Come on man. If I was a Teef, you tink I would steal just $7,000? I vould have taken all of it. Give me a break."
So classy it hurts! But he DID get a break. One of the great things about living in Iran is the charming spin on 48 hours there. There the criminals are brought on TV to admit to their crimes and apologize to victims. I wish they could do the same here. Instead, this jerk came on TV and made an ass out of himself and all the decent Ethiopian valet servicemen world wide.
If this idiot had any brains to balance all that beauty (yes, he was super dangerously sexy ladies if you like curly Iranian mullets and teeth that haven't been flossed since 1994) he would have blamed it on IRI. Everything can be blamed on IRI. If you have cancer? drug addiction? Internet addiction? Cheated on your wife? IRI is at fault. If I was his lawyer, I'd have told him to blame IRI then we could have co-authored a memoir about IRI ruining our lives and why we came to the US to pursue our dreams.

Ladies, have to agree with Toofan
by KB on Wed Feb 18, 2009 09:59 AM PSTIs this what we have been reduced to? whatever happened to serious discussions and being rude to Zion etc, where is the wit and the humor we are used to seeing from you ladies??
I am going back to facebook again..

Rosie
by Hairy (not verified) on Tue Feb 17, 2009 04:38 PM PSTFor the love of Lou Dobbs! Those pics will come out right. We're not hogging Marge's blog. What should we do? Just compliment her writing style and skills over and over again?! She knows it. If it wasn't for her unique sense of humor I'd not have said anything.
I think she doesn't mind. She is not self-centered or full of herself like so many others. I love it when she tells some people; "you are insane!" LOL!! ;-)
Hmm
by Toofantheoncesogreat (not verified) on Tue Feb 17, 2009 02:57 PM PSTHe probably had to do it, you have shopping bills to pay when your married to an Iranian woman.
BOOOM! Gotcha! :)
(In case the smiley does not work, Toofan goes hiding behind his couch before "the gang of lesser self Irony", of the feminist wing attacks, him with Gucci bags and far to short miniskirts)
Ok hairy harry,
by rosie is roxy is roshan on Tue Feb 17, 2009 02:42 PM PSTFirst of all I already offered her Alex Trebek (and drunk too!!!) and she declined. She gave him the cold shoulder. Second of all, DEFINITElY the second one. Did oyu ever see that movie "Hiar Spray"??

PS THOSE AVATARS ARE TOO "CLUTTERED>" THEY WON"T "READ" IN SUCH A SMALL BOX. (as cute as they are...)
These guys are just trash,
by Kaveh Nouraee on Tue Feb 17, 2009 12:40 PM PSTThese guys are just trash, plain and simple.
They perpetuate every negative stereotype that exists about Iranians, as if we needed any more of them.
Thanks for posting the link to the story, Marge.
Thanks JD

I'm sorry Dirty Hairy & Rosie :( :( :(
by I Have a Crush on Alex Trebek on Tue Feb 17, 2009 11:57 AM PST(In order of Importance):
1. Rosie, I rolled over my prayer rug LOL-ing at your addition to the list. Iranian.com is definitely a big problem. Especially when the military wants to start posting here LOL.
2. Hairy - you made me blush. But I'm devoted to one man, Homer, with room for only another - Alex Trebek Unless you're AT We have nothing kinky sexy to discuss.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeelll,
by rosie is roxy is roshan on Tue Feb 17, 2009 11:51 AM PSTI thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiink the first one would "read" best, others would be too cluttered, actually though I think the first might not read well either, but it'd be better than the others, and anywayi t's my total fave.
Now I DIDN'T say I'd do it buuuuuuut it WOULD be funny to do it for a day or two as a "prank", we never HAVE website-wide pranks, but I think it's just a liiiiiiiiiiittle too incestuous to do...so..
why not try to think up a different website prank?
Rosie
(gotta go now. meditate upnn it. lotsa incense. see you later. promise).
PS Just how hairy are you?
;oP
your best
by JD (not verified) on Tue Feb 17, 2009 11:39 AM PSTI could be wrong, but this was your best writing that I have read. Excellent. "Guessing daily doubles" and quite a few other funny things, very clever writing.
Rosie
by Hairy (not verified) on Tue Feb 17, 2009 10:59 AM PSTOkay let's do it! At least for a while anyway. Pick one of the 3 and let's do it! Marge can choose between the remaining 2 when she decides to respond ;)
OH she's ignoring me too Hairy,
by rosie is roxy is roshan on Tue Feb 17, 2009 10:48 AM PSTwhy don't we talk to each other instead of her? You are hairy and I am thinking about my hair (dying it blue), and if I do it, I can use one of your avatars of Marge Simpson in heat.
Marge
by Hairy (not verified) on Tue Feb 17, 2009 10:35 AM PSTYou should nominate him as your Iranian of the Day!
Why are you ignoring me?! I am super dangerously fragilisticly hot! Do hot people ignore hot people?! come on!
Mahmoud Eshrati
by I Have a Crush on Alex Trebek on Tue Feb 17, 2009 10:27 AM PSTHere is the sexy man I mentioned. I wish these men were as creative at scamming IRI.
//www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/11/08/48hours/...
Nevertheless, the week after he stole from us, Mahmoud Eshrati, the valet at the Ritz Carlton, took $7,000 from another car that had $17,000 in it, and got caught.
“I’m not a thief. If I was a thief I would’ve taken the whole thing,” he told police. He spent just three days in jail, and the judge ordered that he never valet park again. He went on to a new career, selling used cars.
Missed one, Marge,

Dear Niki I'm glad you liked it
by I Have a Crush on Alex Trebek on Tue Feb 17, 2009 09:46 AM PSTI wish there was a webisode. It's hilarious. But we can learn good lessons from this. We can relate this and anything else to IRI!
Here's the list I'm composing about what we can blame on IRI:
Global warming
Bad fashion
Bad breath (fasting = halitosis)
Obesity
Traffic Fatalities
Promiscuity
Bad Economic Policies
Sanctions
Terrible Soccer (we need to win a fucking World Cup)
Men feeling a sense of superiority even when they look and smell like BIgfoot
That's all for now.
Blaming USA and UK and Israel OR Pakehstan is worthless
by I Have a Crush on Alex Trebek on Tue Feb 17, 2009 09:11 AM PSTWhy? Because we can't get rid of them. We need to focus the blame on IRI so we can use the attention to get rid of them. We should even blame IRI for AIDS and other diseases (cancer is a good one. You know all that awful pollution/cigar/lead has caught up). Everyone is obsessed with the environment.
Let's blame IRI for global warming. Al Gore will kill Ali Khamenei! YES!
FIND THE G Spot of Democrats or ANYONE for that matter and tell them IRI is involved.
Regime change here we come!
That was hilarious
by Niki Tehranchi on Tue Feb 17, 2009 09:06 AM PSTI wish I had seen it! Though come to think of it, you described it so well, I feel like I have seen it. Thanks for the laughs (especially about not flossing since 1994 hehehe)

"Our" Screwups. Are you crazy? Iranians are never wrong
by I Have a Crush on Alex Trebek on Tue Feb 17, 2009 05:53 AM PSTDon't be silly!
This is a very boppy thread! AnonymousX,
by rosie is roxy is roshan on Mon Feb 16, 2009 11:51 PM PSTYou must register immediately and enchant us with your sirens' songs.
No shit. For real.
You can keep your name if it's not taken. That way we'll know that it's you.
Marge, thank you for the inspiration
by Multiple Personality Disorder on Mon Feb 16, 2009 10:51 PM PSTRead all about it here “Blame it on IRI”
Pakistan implemented shariat
by Anonymousx (not verified) on Mon Feb 16, 2009 10:44 PM PSTPakistan implemented shariat law in Northwest areas to pacify the Taliban.
Now let us blame US and the British for that, shall we?
Whenever I want to satisfy my sadistic cravings, I should get a ticket to Pakistan. Nothing beats some good old stoning. No wait, it’s done in our own dear Iran!
Damn you British .......
Grandpa Simpson is yelling at the clouds!!!!
no, not screwups.
by rosie is roxy is roshan on Mon Feb 16, 2009 10:01 PM PSTfuckups.
Blame IRI you say
by Anonymousx (not verified) on Mon Feb 16, 2009 09:29 PM PSTHow about Khomeini was brought by help of British and USA? What ever happened to that oldie but a goodie?
You mean we should stop blaming others for our own screwups, right?
Democracy/monarchy, same--hmmm...
by rosie is roxy is roshan on Mon Feb 16, 2009 08:47 PM PSTI have been keeping my fingers crossed that after the surgical strikes and the five-year American oil-drill occupation, that the youthful vibrant Iranian populace will vote in a secular parliamentary Islamic Monarchy a la Church of Engliand mode.
Just to see the website in a complete tailspin.
