Iranian News Censors Michelle Obama’s Oscar Gown by anonymous6(f): 8:29pm On Feb 25, 2013 |
[b]"It's no surprise that some in the Middle East were not happy about the movie "Argo," which focuses on the Iranian hostage crisis which lasted from 1979 to 1981. But this is a reaction no one was expecting. During Sunday's Academy Award's telecast, First Lady Michelle Obama made a surprise appearance, handing out the award for Best Picture via satellite from the White House. However, the Iranian news agency Fars not only took exception to the honors bestowed on Ben Affleck's film, which won the night's biggest award, they offered a less-than-subtle critique of the First Lady's dress. Since Mrs. Obama's gown exposed her shoulders in a way that would violate the codes of modesty enforced in many Muslim nations, Fars photoshopped a picture of the First Lady, with the result offering significantly more coverage of her shoulders and chest. The digital alteration was discovered by photojournalist and blogger Golnaz Esfandiari. Fars didn't stop with altering Mrs. Obama's gown. The news agency also slammed "Argo" as an "anti-Iran film … produced by the Zionist company Warner Bros." Iran's state own television network also gave the film a thumbs-down, calling it "an advertisement for the CIA." A report by The London Times pointed out that "Argo" has been banned in Iran, but bootleggers have been selling DVD copies though underground networks, fetching roughly a dollar apiece for the movie. After this, don't expect Fars to be invited to do red carpet coverage of the Oscars in 2014."[/b] http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/2013-oscars/iranian-news-censors-michelle-obama-oscar-gown-171449679.html 2 Likes |

. valacious: bunch of hypocrites. banning the movie and secretly buying.Movie may be banned but it doesnt mean an average iranian may not want to watch it. Movie didnt go down well with iranians cos as usual, it depicts the iranians as the bad guys and the cia/Americans as 'heroes' as they would always want us to believe. Even independent critics agree that the movie did not potral the 'real story.' 7 Likes |

When did this romance between nigerian media and iran start? If Iran sneezes nairaland is first to know. Please Nigeria stay OUT of international plolitics and focus on economic development. Do you want a war with iran( i guess that's how countries massage their egos these days) there would be time for that later. 1 Like |

Let's reason this together, has america come out one day to do a film talking about the bad,fierce things they've done to humanity or u think they haven't done?... Do you know the real story behind osama bin laden?. He wasn't bad,he was part of the spy america sent to fall the then RUSSIAN FEDERATION,which they succeeded but to make it a top class secret,they have to eliminate every evidence. They killed others but failed to kill him,so he fled away by the assistants of muslims brothers there. The hatred russians have for america is unmeasurable. FYI,russia is strongly behind the arab worlds(the enemy of america is russia's padi) that's why he did what he had to do but the bombing 11-10-01 I don't support. I'm not a moslem but ameriaca has their own too. 14 Likes |

I think you hypocrites here the ones with issue. In other words, you people have bought the problem from Iran. When Iran censored the dress, did they ask you loud-mouthed about opinions? |

Too much noise about this Argo. Personally the movie is Ok. One thing I know is that the movie is politically motivated by the US govt to ridicule the porous and weak defense mechanism of Iranian govt. According to the producer of the film, the movie is a real life event. Waiting patiently for the Iranian version. ##Usandtheirantics## |
