Oh, Iran! You! C'mere you! If you were personified as a little kid, I'd give you a swirly, I would! First you hate Jews. Then you tell me that there are no gays in your country. And now you ban Barbie? What won't you do for a little attention?

Probably behave yourself and ask politely for nuclear power. Am I right? This guy knows what I'm talking about.

Some of us Westerners might have difficulty understanding why you suddenly hate a fifty-year-old doll. So I created this simple diagram to help show why Barbie is a bad role model for Iranian girls (also, boys).
