Iranian police have warned shopkeepers not to display female mannequins without a hijab, or showing bodily curves, Irna news agency reports.

Display of bow ties and neckties, and the sale of women's underwear by men are also banned, the police said.

The move is part of a crackdown on Western influences and enforcement of dress codes in recent years.

Let's really screw with Iran. B2 Bombers fly overhead...suddenly parachutes blanket the air above Tehran...

But it's not our military dropping out of the sky, but naked female mannequins...

What do they have against bow ties? And does the ban include the clip-on type or just the ones you have to tie?

Enquiring minds and all that...

A man goes into an adult entertainment shop and asks
the assistant for an inflatable doll.

“Would you like male or female?”

“Female, please.”

“Would you like Black or White?”

“White, please.”

“Would you like Christian or Muslim?”

This question confused the man, so he asked,
“What has the religion got to do with it? It’s an
inflatable doll!”

“Well,” explained the assistant, “The Muslim one blows
itself up!”

Victoria's Secret Catalogs, and bubble-wrapped cases of cold Leinenkugels.

Cheers!

I wonder if they would accept the mannequins holding a pig.
