TS: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad attacks Octopus Paul

[Zero]

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian leader, says Paul the Octopus, the sea creature that correctly predicted the outcome of World Cup games, is a symbol of all that is wrong with the western world.

He claims that the octopus is a symbol of decadence and decay among "his enemies".

Paul, who lives at the Oberhausen Sea Life Centre, in Germany, won the hearts of the Spanish by predicting their World Cup victory.

He became an international star after predicting the outcome of all seven German World Cup matches accurately.

However, the Iranian president accused the octopus of spreading "western propaganda and superstition." Paul was mentioned by Mr Ahmadinejad on various occasions during a speech in Tehran at the weekend.

"Those who believe in this type of thing cannot be the leaders of the global nations that aspire, like Iran, to human perfection, basing themselves in the love of all sacred values," he said.

I agree people who actually believe in this octopus are a bunch of dumbasses.

"Those who believe in this type of thing cannot be the leaders of the global nations that aspire, like Iran, to human perfection, basing themselves in the love of all sacred values," he said.

Human perfection... does that include the oppression of women, and no freedom of speech?

LOL! this is a joke!

he cant be serious, can he?

[Theboss]

I wouldn't mind him saying that if the things like the chained jinn boy and the human hybrid sheep would not have happened...

[mitochondria]

He's the Iranian leader, not the Indian. Wasn't the boy living in India?

[RoadKill]

Saudi Arabia, I think. The hybrid sheep thing was in Turkey. But if he can put this on the entire Western civilization, then why can't we do it about the Middle East?

because he's a generalising, power mad psychopath...and presumably we personally are not?!
it doesn't make sense sinking to the level of a dictator...or any bully or bad person for that matter.

It was an Arab country and the guy wasn't commenting that. Atleast I presume he didn't.

He has done quite a few odd things.

The internet: In November 2008 Iran blocked access to more than five million internet sites, whose content was mostly perceived by Abdolsamad Khoram Abadi, an adviser to Iran's prosecutor general, as immoral and anti-social.

Wow that is harsh..and I missed it D:

I wonder if this site is blocked
I heard it was in China.
It proves that we are getting better known :O
