Anyway

The Venezuelans can be

The Venezuelans can be forgiven.

During the administration of GW Bush, China's President Hu was formally announced over the White House loudpeaker as president of the Republic of China! (Taiwan)

Check out the vintage IRIAF Boeing 707 that brought President Ahmadinejad to South America. That's a sight you don't see everyday!

It could have inspired Ionesco's Exit the King ;0)

Ironic that this visit coincided with the birthday of the late French Rumanian playwrite Eugene Ionesco:

KING OF ABSURD: Eugène Ionesco 100th Anniversary (1909-2009)

Mr. Ahmadainejad the great

       His looks "ghyafe" , gives me frequent bowel movements . Excellent cure for constipation . The irony of the incident is that the former dictatorship ( shahi) has changed into a new form (sheikhi) . Nevertheless, the music is the same .

He didn't deserve to be welcomed by a king's anthem.

Jamal Vafaie would have been more appropriate for his kind.

That's amazing

He took his wife with him.

پخش سرود شاهنشاهی از سیمای جمهوری اسلامی

سی و یک سال پس از نواختن آخرین سرود شاهنشاهی بار دیگر این سرود در مراسم رسمی استقبال از محمود احمدی نژاد در ونزوئلا پخش شد. رئیس قوه مجریه جمهوری اسلامی هم بدون هیچگونه واکنشی، گام هایش را با این سرود هماهنگ کرد واز گارد احترام سان دید. جالب تر اینکه این صحنه از سیمای جمهوری اسلامی هم پخش شد تا بدین ترتیب مردم ایران پس از سی و اندی سال بار دیگر صدای این سرود را بشنوند.

منبع اولیه این خبر تصاویری بود که از شبکه خبر سیمای جمهوری اسلامی ایران پخش شد؛ روی این تصاویر که به وضوح سرود شاهنشاهی شنیده می شود، گوینده خبر می گوید: "این چهارمین سفررئیس جمهور کشورمان به ونزوئلاست؛ همتای ونزوئلایی او هم 14 شهریور امسال برای هفتمین بار از ایران دیدار کرد." ولی نه گوینده خبر و نه مسئولان دیگر جمهوری اسلامی توضیح نمی دهند که چگونه بعد
از 11 بار که طرفین سرودهای رسمی دو کشور را شنیده اند، چنین اتفاقی می افتد و عکس العمل دولت جمهوری اسلامی به این موضوع چه بوده است. در عوض خبرآنلاین، یکی از رسانه های حامی احمدی نژاد در این مورد نوشت: "به دنبال
نمایش صحنه های استقبال از احمدی نژاد در ونزوئلا در شبکه خبر، شایعاتی منتشرشد. محور این شایعه نواخته شدن مارشی مربوط به دوران پهلوی به جای سرود جمهوری اسلامی بود. با اینکه هنوز مقامات رسمی در این زمینه توضیحی نداده اند بررسی های به عمل آمده حاکی است سرود نواخته شده در مراسم رئیس جمهور ایران سرود رسمی کشورمان نبوده اما اینکه سرود مزبور مربوط به دوران ستمشاهی بوه احراز نشده است."

حالا معلوم نیست شاهنشاهی
بودن این سرود کی احراز خواهد شد اما یک نکته محرز است و آن اینکه در فرودگاه، آقای چاوز به استقبال احمدی نژاد نیامد و با اینکه قرار بود مراسم رسمی استقبال از احمدی نژاد عصر 4شنبه برگزار شود، منابع ونزوئلایی آن را به 5شنبه موکول کردند. همسر احمدی نژاد نیز در این سفر وی را همراهی می کند اما تصاویر نشانگر آن است که ازهمسر رئیس جمهوری اسلامی ایران، استقبال چندانی نشده و او بعد از لحظاتی از تصاویر حذف شده است.

It happened before, too

It's not the first time this has happened.  Most countries don't change their national anthems that frequently, so this has happened to Iranian delegations on other occasions in the past.

The really funny thing about this is that it was Mahmoud's fourth trip to see Hugo, and the two being so close and so "revolutionary" together, the irony in the mistake is particularly intensified.

It's clear IRIB has tried to reduce the sound when the old anthem comes on but was unable to salvage the dignity.

Even if IRIB personnel were too young to know the difference, Mahmoud and his wife are old enough to know it!  I am laughing my head off thinking what must have been going through his head!  Any humiliation serves this jerk right.

Black ghost...!?

Could not get better than this for AN...looked like there was a black ghost following him down the stair from the plane...what was that...?...his wife...?

WTF?!

Now, does any one still wonder why countries like Iran/Venezuala are called Third World? Humors and jokes aside (I almost p'd in my pants!), this is SAD!  In today's high-tech world, couldn't someone at the Relaciones Exteriores office find out what Iran's CURRENT national anthem is?! 

Makes for a great coctail discussion though...

The Republic Generation

There is a possibility that all IRIB staff that edited this tape were under 30 and have never heard this anthem in their lives, hence didn't recognize it.

Travelling Monkey.

Travelling monkey is visiting other monkies. Poor ugly monkey is socializing. Ugly monkey is better watch his pockets. Other monkies may rub him.

I can see

All the Persian rugs that Ahmadinejad has given to their government.

This was broadcast by the IRIB and they didn't notice it? Or maybe they thought that this is the host countries anthem.

Or Was it Dr. Evil and Mini Me ? ... ;0)

What a pity these 2 pieces of crap are the symbol of Iranian people. 

Haaaah!

That's so damn funny. I'm impressed that Mahmoud did not create a scene. He's becoming quite a stateman, antar!
