This comment by an Iranian security official, while humorous because of its seemingly simple but idiotic intent, is also sad on many levels because it shows how even educated minds, once seduced and infected by power can start talking and believing in utter delusional nonsense.
“The majority of the population is young….Young people by nature are horny. Because they are horny, they like to watch satellite channels where there are films or programs they can jerk off to….We have to do something about satellite television to keep society free from this horny jerk-off situation”.
Yep…there you go! I think this brilliant mind has just solved the world’s problems. Just censor satellite TV to prevent the young male populace from having a wank and reap the peace dividends!
Hmm…I wonder if that means they will have to ban National Geographic too! ;-)
