Manal and Alaa's bit bucket

In their ongoing effort to become the most redicilous country in the world, Iran's government, right after virtually outlawing foreign movies, is arresting mannequins for being too sexy in the name of public chastity.

Police in northeastern Iran are launching a new morality drive by confiscating alluring mannequins from boutiques and clothes stalls in the bazaar, authorities in the city of Bojnourd said on Monday.

A spokesman for the city's judiciary, who asked not be named, explained the drive would tackle problems of "public chastity". Sixty five mannequins have been impounded so far.

You just can't make this shit up!
