The Iranian regime continues to fight the good fight, even as their indolent youth continue to slouch towards Gomorrah. Which is rather a long slog, being apparently out west towards the Jordan river, but never mind:
Iranian police have closed more than 20 barbers’ shops in the capital Tehran.
The authorities say the barbers were encouraging un-Islamic behaviour by offering Western hairstyles, tattooing and also eyebrow-plucking for men.
What is the world coming to, when young Iranian men can go about getting their eyebrows plucked all willy-nilly? This could lead to sex, which as every good authoritarian mullah knows might eventually – and this is worst case, of course – lead to DANCING!!1!
*Shudder*
Meanwhile, those of us living in the already thoroughly degraded West at least have one more thing to live for.
Which, maybe it’s not the thrill of illicit eyebrow-plucking, but you know: You do what you can.
