O Mullah, Where Art Thou?

The mad mullahs in Iran don't just want to nuke Jews and Americans. They don't like porn, either:
IRAN: PORNOGRAPHY PRODUCERS TO GET DEATH PENALTY UNDER NEW LAW

Tehran, 30 April (AKI) - The culture committee of the Iranian parliament approved on Monday a bill sentencing to death producers of 'pornography', videos and films deemed vulgar by the country's censorship. The draft law will now go to parliament where it is expected to be approved by an ample majority. Amateur porn films have a properous market in Iran and can fetch up to 30 euros each.

The market, tolerated for a long time, became a nationwide issue earlier this year after a porn film of popular television actress, Zohre Mir Ebrahimi, having sex with her partner, was released.
Dang! And I was so looking forward to seeing movies like Hairy Persian Kitties, Burqa Bukkake Babes and Zohre Does Qom. I suppose the only good thing about this story is that it shows that even after almost thirty years of being ruled by religious zealots, the Iranians still like porn. They're human after all.
