Funny/sad

During my stay [in Iran] I picked up a few issues of some western magazines at the university bookshop, and found to my surprise that they were censored by the Iranian regime!

They had simply gone through the magazines and used black ink and white stickers to cover up any offending material - most notably images, in both articles and advertisements, of women with a little less clothes than prescribed by local laws.
