to be fair to those cuddly Iranian despots

they may be first order bampots and possibly aspiring authors of nuclear apocalypse, but at least they are taking a stand against the importation of ghastly spice boy or one direction haircuts. This is why Persian civilisation has lasted 3000 years.

"Homosexual and devil worshipping hairstyles have been banned in Iran, alongside tattoos, sunbed treatments and plucked eyebrows for men, which are all deemed un-Islamic.

The move aimed at spiky cuts follows a trend where, each summer, Iranian authorities Iranian authorities get tough on men and women sporting clothing or hairdos seen as imitations of western lifestyles.

In 2010, Iran banned ponytails, mullets and long, gelled hair for men, but allowed 1980s-style floppy fringes or quiffs."

Eventually the kids will hold a demonstration against the hardline views, then they will be shot in the main square . I have come to the view we should let the middle east sort itself out. Maybe when we stay out, the moderates and liberals will rise against the fundamentalists on their own

holy fuck... Ive got a work colleague proudly sporting one of them (it goes just fine with his big sticky ooty lugs). The mullet is mesmerising and horrifying at the same time.

but, ultimately, I can never ignore its genius.

I think the Iranians should reconsider the mullet ban.

Religions eh! They just want to ban. Wish we could ban them
