Ari, you got it wrong

by i_support_khamenie on

My articles in my blogs are very clear. They show how freely I express my thoughts and opinions. I even at times suggest ways to get the IRI to change its behaviour.

Hence, despite what you may wish for, I can not be branded as a particular type of person, anti or pro IRI. Rather, I am independant.

Independant enough to say what I wish freely without fearing the comments from a few thought police members who are gunho ready to accuse and so on...

I rather choose an id ISK and get people to know I am not subject to change through the often too commonly used tactic of taarof in ic. They see my username and figure, no amount of pressure will dissuade him. So I feel free to express my thoughts.

I can't say that about most other folks.

NY Times

by Ari Siletz on

ISK, The day IC articles get featured in the New York Times, is the day I  follow your suggestion and start searching the web for IC alternatives. Also, returning the favor of a suggestion: if you support the IRI, don't pay homage to the NY Times, it makes you look insecure and confused. Instead seek confirmation in a more compatible propaganda newspaper, say, Kayhan.

should I laugh or cry? advise for Mr Javid

by i_support_khamenie on

I don't know,

should I laugh that any meaningless drawing is being featured as a "work of art" and given front page coverage/?

or should I cry that it is always the same people commenting on every article, to the point that the commnetators now actually know each other, follow each other, know about one another's favorite dishes....etc

I think ic instead of being selective is trying to be all-inclusive.

The idea is that there should be a free flow of information. However, as the experiment has shown, the quality (and maybe membership) has plummeted.

Rather, ic should realize that many folks are tech savvy and can surf the web for what pleases them regarding IRAN. Therefore, it should make a point to actually feature Select- articles that are really unique.

IC should publish articles that might get featured in NYTIMES and might hence be missed by great number of iranians.
It should refrain from artciles that would not even be featured in Waterloo Hoboken Gizzette Semi-MOnthly

Thank you Shazde, Monda, Omid, Darius & Anahid aziz.

Monda jan: Yes, that is a poster of blood, towards which the IRI killers pray - you know, like Mecca for ordinary Muslims.

Omid jan: Wrong cartoon! This is not supposed to be that funny! One litttle grin would suffice :-)

I died laughing

... this is my spirit writing this comment.


Monda

Hah Azadeh, you rock!

by Monda on

Creative and to the point.  Love all the details! Can't figure out one thing though: is that a poster of blood on Nutjob's wall?

Very nice and timely

Azadeh Azad

Thank you, friends

by Azadeh Azad on

Dear Mardom Mazloom,

Ari is *not* talking about the reverse writing on the door - although that too could be a subject of laughter :-), but rather about the myth of vampires not having reflection in the mirror. He held up a mirror and discovered that all four characters of the cartoon are vampires! :-) 

Another test could be the "Garlic Test." Hold up a bunch of garlic and see how the four of the blood-suckers will leave the blog and IC for where they belong! :-)

Fantastic job azadeh jan. Powerful political cartoon.

Darvish, do you understand what plagiarism is?

by oktaby on

And where/how it is applicable? Basic understanding counts more than originality. It is however, interesting that you are familiar with the idea (analogy or common view applied to a specific situation, not plagiarism) about the blood sucking nature of IRR?

The drawing makes me wonder if this condition (basijonoma also known as murderitis) is genetic (perhaps a recessive gene) that expresses itself when initiated with islam and other ideologies of exclusion and hate? Or even normal people may be afflicted as blessings of Shi't islam?

Mardom Mazloom

Splendid!

by Mardom Mazloom on

The islamic crab emblem goes perfectly with the sucking teeth! And "Dr. Nut job" as Ari pointed out too is also bright.

Thank you, Azadeh, for your timely cartoon! You are very talented! I am just curious if the dude wants 18 years of back-pay plus interest from IRI.

I am also curious if IRI will let this guy leave Iran.

Mirror test

by Ari Siletz on

I held up a mirror to this cartoon and none of the four characters showed up in reflection. Good job!

MM

Nice, but AVR knows too much @ assassination, tied to IRI

by MM on

Nice Cartoon Azadeh, but the job is temporary. 

AVR knows too much about the assassinations that get associated with IRI.  So, he will be silenced one way or another.  If not by IRI, S. Bakhtiar and Soroush Katibeh' friends/family are after him too. 

There may be an accident in his furure, which will direct him from the heaven he mistakenly uttered to the hell he definitely deserves.
