TEHRAN - Police in northeastern Iran are launching a new morality drive by confiscating alluring mannequins from boutiques and clothes stalls in the bazaar, authorities in the city of Bojnourd said Monday.
A spokesman for the city's judiciary, who asked not be named, explained the drive would tackle problems of "public chastity." He said 65 mannequins have been impounded so far.
He explained the crack-down on tailors' dummies was part of a larger offensive against anti-social behavior such as vandalism and biker gangs.
Bojnourd owes its traditional religious climate to the nearby shrine city of Mashhad, a focal point of pilgrimage for the world's Shi'ite Muslims.

Well, I saw that one back when it was released in 1987. Probably didn't get any candy back then either.
But tonight, oh yeah, tonight, I'm getting some candy. Yessiree, Bob. I don't care if I have to ring every dang doorbell in town, I'm getting some candy tonight!

OK, what does mannequins have to do with biker gangs?Hmmmm:
- Mannequins are the only thing that'll ride with them?
- Mannequins in a store bring (out) the bikers so they can get an idea of what women look like?
- The mullahs are jealous of the bikers and want all the mannequins for themselves?
- There's a fatwa against mannequins who associate with bikers?
- The mullahs seen what martin_fierro posts to us hooligans?
- What?
