I don't think you've heard enough about Iran

Chris Spags Founder and Editor

You know what’s not getting enough coverage? The situation in Iran. Fret not, I’m here to help. Here’s a Funny or Die video about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad learning how to use Twitter.

I’m all for the people in Iran staking a claim for democracy and all that, but I’m getting a little tired of the social pressure on me caring. Don’t get me wrong, it sucks that they’re stuck under a leader who’s um, not a good guy? Maybe that’s not strong enough words. A leader who’s a bit of a meanie butthead jerk. Yes, that’ll do. But that’s what countries do, sort crap out. No one came over and jerked our ancestors off when they overtook the British. There were no red Twitter icons on the 1700s form of Twitter (carrier pigeons). Root them on, yes, but let them do their thing. Unless you’ve got some dictatorship-destroying flying carpet, in which case you were a dick for holding out on that thing for so long.

What'd you think of this?
