Iran bans Western words...
 

Ok, this guy is just getting loony. This takes Freedom Fries to a whole new level.

TEHRAN, Iran - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has ordered government and cultural bodies to use modified Persian words to replace foreign words that have crept into the language, such as "pizzas" which will now be known as "elastic loaves," state media reported Saturday.

The presidential decree, issued earlier this week, orders all governmental agencies, newspapers and publications to use words deemed more appropriate by the official language watchdog, the Farhangestan Zaban e Farsi, or Persian Academy, the Irna official news agency reported.

The academy has introduced more than 2,000 words as alternatives for some of the foreign words that have become commonly used in
Iran, mostly from Western languages. The government is less sensitive about Arabic words, because the Quran is written in Arabic.

Among other changes, a "chat" will become a "short talk" and a "cabin" will be renamed a "small room," according to official Web site of the academy.

kuniiiiii is not banned

the rest of the world banned IRAN along time ago ;)

good.......they don't deserve virgins:winkwink:

reminds me of freedom fries

if only someone would print the Quran on toilet paper
i would so buy it

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Now you know how the rest of the world felt about freedom fries :1orglaugh

Most of us felt the same way. :-)

At least it wasn't totally banned! I'm waiting for a 16 year old girl to get lynched for ordering a sausage pizza.

I read about it. Some more banned words:

'Nonude' will become 'in burka'
'Cumshot' will become 'messy goatmilk'
'Doggystyle' will become 'pray on bed'

...PS! 'cameltoe' will still be 'cameltoe' and 'bukkake' made it since it was not western.

Iranian version of "pizzas" suck anyway, they should rather called it "garbage".
I have never eat worse pizza then in Iran.

dirka dirka

>Now you know how the rest of the world felt about freedom fries

Now you know how the US felt about the rest of the world defining all Americans by the handful of insane right-wingers who took over our country. ;-)

Just like during WWII we made it so it was unsavory to say hamburgers, instead we renamed them wetgully billburgers.
