Do Iranians really fail to see the funny side?

Anyone who's spent time in a dictatorial state wouldn't have any problems believing that FARS would publish this story as truth. There's no such concept as real or "true" truth in such a state - Party policy becomes truth, it's just like Orwell described.

In that sense, it's similar to "facts" presented by secessionists - they're no more "truth" than what the Man in the Moon prefers for breakfast.




In case you wondered, the Man in the Moon is Libra, and hence he eats white cheese for breakfast.

I was talking to an Iranian last week about the economic situation. Apparently, it's really bad there and their currency is collapsing. UN sanctions are having a big effect.
