TEHRAN — Iran has banned TV programs showing half-naked men and love triangles, the semi-official Fars news agency reported on Monday, in the latest sign of a conservative crackdown on media in the Islamic state.
It was not clear what prompted the ban — Iran TV, which has a monopoly in the country, dedicates large parts of its schedule to religious shows and announcements from the government.

But viewers were gripped a few years ago by a locally produced soap opera called Forbidden Fruit which told the tale of an old man who decided to leave his wife after falling in love with a young girl.
"Based on a new instruction, the broadcasting of programs that show tempting love triangles is banned," Fars said.
Exceptions would be made for shows that explicitly condemned such entanglements, it added.

Banning Love Triangles ...But Why?
by Soosan Khanoom on Tue Sep 13, 2011 06:24 AM PDTIn a country that a man is allowed to marry four and have unlimited temporary ones , love triangle does not make sense.
Well... it does not make sense for men but it sure makes lots of sense for women. Especially for those who are married and have no right to divorce. ... So this is another gender related or better say women related dilemma that the society has to deal with and by banning they probably are trying to avoid the real issue. They fear that, God forbid, if they do not put an end to this one of these days the movie industry may start to show a woman's desire. And who wants that to happen !!!!?
This means just like Gays, we don't have Love Triangles in Iran!

Does that mean that
by Tiger Lily on Tue Sep 13, 2011 02:28 AM PDTwrestlers aren't allowed on show and what about sighes and the four wives menage?
Hesab ketabe ina vazesh az male man kharabtareh, be valaaheh. Surely those chests should be on permanent display to keep the population figures down: they could put one off sex for life!
