Dude, where's my tie?
I'm finding myself repeating the posts in my Persian blog, which is something I don't like, but this is too classic to miss.
One of the Iranian newspapers has decided to wipe off Ali Karimi's tie. Karimi is an Iranian footballer who recently won the prestigious Asian Player of the Year award for 2004. He received his award at a galla in AFC headquarters in Malaysia, and wore a tie for the occasion.
Wearing a tie is considered taboo in Iran - by the ruling clergy at least. They consider it un-Iranian and a display of western culture and influence. Usually the 'bad guys' on Iranian television are depicted as people who wear ties!

That's typical! As you mentioned in your Persian blog, they wear "western" clothes from head to toe, but the only bad thing is the tie. And the software they use to make the tie disappear, tell "photoshop", is also from west. but it's ok to use it to clead the evil tie! nuts!
