I find this hard to believe
Recently, Iran announced they were banning the Simpsons as unacceptable western culture under their sharia-based policies. Strangely, the same article says:
According to Shargh, an independent newspaper, the Simpsons were banned to avoid the promotion of Western culture, putting Bart and Homer alongside Barbie on an Iranian toy blacklist. Superman and Spider-Man were allowed because they helped the "oppressed," the Associated Press reported.Honestly, I find that hard to swallow. In any case, it might not last that long either, because of the Jewish backgrounds of their creators. (Don't be surprised if Wonder Woman is banned such places already, not just because of her sexy outfit but also because of what that comics heroine certainly once stood for, which was freedom for women. Come to think of it, don't be surprised if any of the lovely ladies appearing in Supes and Spidey's books like Lois Lane and Mary Jane Watson-Parker are banned in sharia zones either!)
