#1 "Saffar-Harandi said the move would be part of a wider campaign to revive the values of the Islamic revolution in cultural life. "

A revival is necessary? But I thought everybody just LOVED the Islamic revolution.

" . . you have my word that we will purify the cultural atmosphere,"

Purify? Uh-oh.

"In the near future, we will not witness an unhealthy cultural product among

books,

movies,

shows,

music, etc."

Gotta reign in the Iranian people and make things really, really boring. Of course this doesn't apply to the Mullahs and their gated community Hollywood lifestyles.
