Any post that ends with “Have fun being unemployed, dumbass” isn’t flying anywhere. It pretty much falls in with a thud and lies there stinking until it dies.
And I don’t see why the Iranians would care about Persians. I can’t imagine that 300 Greeks couldn’t just kick their way through an army of Persians unless they were all drunk on retsina and ouzo. The Greeks, that is; not the cats.
Glad you made the qualification. Drunken cats are not to be messed with.
That’s ok, Andy. I got it. I didn’t think it was funny, mind you, but I got it.
Persian New Year is next Tuesday, Andrew Bird. Don’t put off your shopping, now… 
Still, it’s the same country with the same language and the same or, rather, a lineally-descended culture. Just like China is still the same country it was in the time of Confucius. (Egypt, OTOH, is not, because the ancient Egyptian language and culture are extinct; modern Egypt is just another region in Greater Arabia.)
I was in the same boat until I saw the glistening lesbians. I checked my passport the minute I got home. I’m good to go. 
Dude, yer, like, a DUDE. Lesbians, glistening or not, are uninterested in you and won’t even let you watch, unless you pay them, and I know you can’t afford it.
I heard about this from a friend today who, instead of “Iran,” used the word “Pakistan.” I ranted for a good few minutes about why Pakistan had about as much reason to bitch about 300 as Switzerland has to bitch about Pearl Harbor.
Then I looked it up and saw it was an Iranian official. That, at least, makes an ounce of sense.
Of course, the fucking idiot needs to wake up and realize that Americans have a collective historical memory of about 12 minutes, as opposed to many Arabic cultures who actively and regularly invoke occurences as old as a five or six hundred years. Sometimes older, the stupid bastard.
Oh come on, cut them some slack. It’s easy to not know where Persia is, all tucked away down there…
They are fairly good at stuff from five hundred years ago. Of course, stuff from 50 years ago - *not so much.

Well you know, it’s the policy of the Iranian government to never allow things to be swept under the rug.
At least Kazakhstan isn’t complaining this time around.
Glistening lesbians? Forget Persia. Grab your passport, fly here to Bangkok and make it to Suzie Wong and Five Star bars for the nightly lesbian shows. THEY glisten, thanks to lots of body oil.
Am I the only one realize that no one in the Iranian government expects or desires any sort of reparation and such or even gives a damn about the response of the west to their protest? This is about team-building inside Iran, folks, nothing more. It’s an opportunity to further demonize the west among the soi-disant electorate of Iran.
Did the Iranians bitch about that Oliver Stone Alexander the Great movie? Because there would be an opportunity for bridge-building.
Wait a minute. I thought Persians were cats.
That joke was funnier yesterday, Thudlow. 
I hate when that happens.
I’m more annoyed at the idiots who keep calling up the Science Center and refuse to believe us when we tell them we’re NOT showing 300 at the Omnimax. I don’t mind them asking, but the ones who will NOT believe us just piss me off.
Just tell them the movie is too long and you’re showing 150 instead
