Iran: Use of the word women 'banned from state TV'
2007-11-30
The word 'women' must now be replaced on Iranian state television by 'family', reformist Norouz news agency reports.
What'd they replace the word "titties" with?
In programmes broadcast throughout the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against women last Sunday, Iranian state TV used the world family instead.
Bet they can't say "honkers," either. Prob'ly cause half the High Holy Politburo to have seizures.
In recent weeks, Iran's Centre for the Participation of Women changed its name to the Centre for Family Matters. At the time of former reformist president, Mohammad Khatami, the centre was set up within the president's office.
And no video of Britney's caesarian scar, or Paris getting out of a car...

#8  Oh come on Zen, you know perfectly well how they'll react.

They'll ignore it like they do all the other insults and oppressions of women not carried out by White Republican Males.

#4  Ummmm, exactly how does this work?

Do they now say "15 families gave birth in the hospital?" 10 families died of breast cancer."

This is one of the biggest downsides of technology. We have to pay attention to this pond scum now.

See, that's good. If a woman's existence isn't recognized, then there can be no violence against them since they don't exist. Violence eliminated!
Problem solving the Iranian way...

A dubious honor at best.
