Some Black Adder skits set in Iran by this troupe would've started a full-scale riot, I'm sure! Rowan Atkinson bump!

[parsifal]

"beating their chests in a traditional Shi'a sign of disapproval,"

I like our way of showing disapproval much better. Massive B-52 strikes. parsy.

[Cachelot]

For a moment I thought Mr. Bean had introduced a new punishment, "face flogging". Which I certainly would have inflicted on any bearded jihadist trying to impersonate me, as well as their opponents.

[IronJack]

Woo hoo! Sounds like a great place to take a date. I guess this is what passes for fun in quarters where laughter is never heard.

The leader of Ansar-e Hezbollah, Hamid Ostad, was sentenced to five months in jail and 25 lashes, while his accomplice, Ali-Reza Rezaie, was sentenced to 92 days in jail and 15 lashes, Judge Mohammad Shams-Gilani told IRNA.

I'd say they got off easy. Bean attacking should be a capitol offense!!

Well, you know... stonings get boring after a while.

I think you are going to get the chance to see us register some of that disapproval in the mideast as soon as the weather begins to cool.

If the fanatical freaks are going to go berserk over the beautifully benign humor of Mr. Bean, is it any wonder they will never accept the rest of western culture?

[Rocko]

Scrappy Doo strikes again.

Name: Rowan Atkinson

Anagram: NATO knows Iran

[Genesis defender]

I know you don't want none of this, punk!!!

Well, that's one way to handle theatre critics.

[norraad]

I know in my heart humor is the only way to solve this religious mess.

The few mid-east comics I've seen are pure & wonderful, Grid Bless'um, what an uphill battle they face.

Like Lenny Bruce half a century ago they are paving a path for their pitiful 7th century mindset culture to crawl out to a wonderful future with the rest of us.

"Fear and pestilence stalk this land like...two...great...big... stalking things!"

[VOA]

An Iranian court has sentenced two members of a revolutionary group to flogging
and jail terms for disrupting a performance by an Iranian version of the
British comedy character Mr Bean.

Yep, Iran is THE superior civilization and culture.

[dighton]

Bean attacking should be a capital offense!!

We know how to deal with such miscreants.

[parsifal]

"the ticketing clerk rushed out and fisted Mr Angre. "

Henceforth, I will be sure to show the proper respect to all ticketing clerks. parsy who enjoys being able to sit down.

[Gorzaloon]

The group disrupted Water hole, beating their chests and flinging feces in a traditional Shi'a sign of disapproval, the agency reported.

[jellybean]

We know how to deal with such miscreants.

At least they weren't caught Eve teasing!

Do not overlook such things. If you do so, it will only embolden them.
