Video: Iranians catch nose-job fever!
posted at 5:06 pm on July 26, 2007 by Allahpundit
I’ve read about this before. It’s not a recent phenomenon either. Insecure, superficial, obsessed with their own appearance — they’re just like us. Which is all to the good, as it’s hard to wage jihad if you’re busy staring in the mirror. Viva vanity!

Read this along with the recent story about the fashion police in Iran. The women of Iran are natural allies of the U.S. When they are free they will be more like us than like the jihadies.
But there we are with the old chicken and the egg problem.
How can they be more like us until they are free?

The civilians of Iran are natural allies, for godsake they have carl’s jrs in all but name called super stars. They love western culture and products they’re just run by 9th century rejects.

A schnoz doctor in Iran could make a real good living.
I would think.

A plastic surgeon in Iran would be like Michelangelo in a marble quarry.

Sex change operations are also big in Iran.

What about boob jobs?

I’ve always liked strong noses, they give personality
Keli on July 26, 2007 at 5:46 PM
Well.
Everybody in Iran is trying to get a shorter nose than their President (and our former President).
Which leads me to think they don’t believe a word he says.
We do have something in common with the Iranians.

I do not mind the Middle Eastern schnoz. The last woman I asked out was Middle Eastern and had the nose. Looked rather good on her.

Maybe if we could,say get a doctor contracted from
the CIA(wink-wink he he)that could identify Terrorists.
Maybe this doctor could mix in some SEMTEX with plastic
surgery and put in small chip as a detonator and call him at home when he,s working on a car bomb.He he he

Why not enforce the burqa and then no noses will be visible.
Much cheaper, and Islamic as hell.

An Iranian women could be actually pretty with some rhinoplasty
TheSitRep on July 26, 2007 at 6:17 PM
Now, if only they could get over to Saudi Arabia.

Those poor ladies want rhinoplasty because the blessed holy koran permits husbands to break their wives noses.

Is aljazebra asking for a religious crackdown?

When the sh!t hits the fan, we are going to have a lot of closet allies among the populace of Iran. Many of these kids are children of those who remember how much better it was under the Shah prior to ’79.

I liked the scene with the hammer and chisel against the woman’s nose…made me cringe…
This must be a slow news day…

Unless the sh!t splatters all over everyone like it has in Iraq. I hope the President isn’t stupid enough to go all shock and awe in Iran. Their civilian population is the most pro-western in the region, and we don’t need to screw that up. Hitting their refineries, or simply a naval blockade to block most of their gas imports would be much better.
BadgerHawk on July 26, 2007 at 10:22 PM
Excellent point. An invasion is out of the question. But as a first step I think we need to hit their offensive nuclear program, not cripple their energy supply, which is already stretched way thin as it is.
infidel4life on July 26, 2007 at 10:54 PM
That was gross, looked like a hammer and a giant nail to me lol.

..a nose bob to hang your hijab, hu hu …. wonder how long it’ll take those wacky Iranians to catch onto botox injections?

You’ll know they’re starting to turn the corner when they start getting the Pamela Sue Anderson surgery. Oh yeah…we’ll need validation on that though.

Hah. A whole nation of Michael Jacksons. I feel bad for the kids.
