Ahmadinejad slams Paul the Ocopus–

Iranian regime President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad attacked Paul the Octopus in a speech this weekend in Tehran.
The Telegraph reported:
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.

Hysterical comments!
If anyone here studied Hitler, you may remember how he had a penchant for getting involved in really mundane, local issues from time to time – stuff he had no business commenting on while trying to run the whole country. Very interesting comparison.

I think Ahmadinejad proves that Muslims are discouraged from having a sense of humor.
That and he is just a nutball, anyway. Maybe Oliver Stone can do a film bio of him. Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Hitler — fun.

The pygmy rattlesnake is just a bit “put out” that Paul the Octopus has teeth in his “orifice”.

The Mahdi is a little kid who’s been haning out inside a well for the last 800 years. This I can believe. The kid is really the 12th imam. This I can believe. He’s going to take over the whole world. This I can believe. He’s going to destroy all the Jews, infidels, Christians, Hindus etc. This I can believe. And We have to kill off two thirds of the population of the world before Allah can fulfill this promise. This I can believe.
But Paul the Octopus?
A man has to draw the line somewhere.

Next I hope to see “Paul the Octopus Attacks Delirious Ahmadinejad”, with a picture of Paul straddling that ugly mug like the creature in Alien.
Stanley commented:
Propaganda? It is taught that Jesus did not die on the cross. To the Muslims, Jesus is a prophet. If Jesus did not die on the cross, then His own words condemn Him because Jesus prophesied His Death and thus he would be no prophet if He did not die on the tree and if He did, what say you?
Funny commented:
Now THAT’S FUNNY.
Thanks.. you made my day.

Too weird. Mahkmoud is too Weird. He is not the power anywho. It is Khamanei. So what is the

All the while, the Press is foccused on stupid sports and a rigged cephalopod….
