I Wonder..

If they'll get to see a few queers hanging on crane wires while they're there. Get some REAL Iranian cultural input!

Big crowd pleasers from what I can see:

Like Ahmadinejad said at Columbia, no queers here!

Hypocrites! They allow Sean Penn and Dustin Black to rant against homophobic Americans during the Oscars, then give one of the worst human rights-offending nations on earth boffo press with this PR bonanza! Talk about useful idiots!

Where to next, AMPAS? Sudan?

I wonder if the Academy brought DVDs as gifts for the IRI gangsters.

I would just love it if they gave Antarinejad the Special Edition DVD of Schindler's List.
