77% Of Americans Surveyed Prefer Ahmadinejad to Obama

[Theb]

A news agency in Iran has published a report by the satirical news website, The Onion, saying rural white Americans would rather vote for President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad than Barack Obama.

Quoting The Onion word-for-word, Fars states that an opinion poll also found 77% would rather go to a baseball game or have a drink with Mr Ahmadinejad.

A made-up West Virginia resident is quoted as saying: "I like him better."

The report has not yet been published in Farsi on the agency's website.

The Fars news agency, which is affiliated with the powerful Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), does not credit The Onion for the report on the survey.

The West Virginia resident is also quoted as saying the Iranian leader "takes national defence seriously, and he'd never let some gay protesters tell him how to run his country like Obama does".

Iran banned alcohol after the Islamic revolution in 1979. Homosexuality is punishable by imprisonment or, in some cases, death.

Iranian media and politicians frequently refer to the US as the "Great Satan".

Foreign news agencies need to hire at least one editor that understands satire. "Uh guys, I think the Great Satan is just messing with us again."

BTW England and Canada, how does it feel to be Second Rate Satans? We're still #1!

I remember a few months ago that some Iranian news agency used images from a Fark.com photoshop thread in a report about Iran's missile program.

Ahmadinejad would make a perfect foxnews lackey.

I think Russia is still considered the Lesser Satan. Their Afghani adventure happened quite a long time ago at this point, though, so I wonder if that's brought them down in the standings.

So you guys are like tier 3 - 4 satans? That's got to sting. Do you want to borrow some homosexuals?

No way he isn't RW enough

Awesome. Just straight up awesome!

I like the guy. He might be evil or a bad leader but he knows how to troll properly. I think it was during the 2008 election that he wanted to oversee the US elections to make sure nothing funny happens
He also might have been the guy who insisted on the UN inspecting America's nuclear facilities to make sure we're building atomic weapons.

 

[Ventanni]

The guy is a lunatic, but I have to admit that he's pretty brilliant. Half the things he says are just to troll the world.

 

[BladeVenom]

They both have had the largest deficits in their countries history, so it would be a hard choice. On the plus side, Ahmadinejad is more honest .

You're really not very bright, are you?

Ahmadinejad is hilarious but he is actually a pretty sharp person. He knows exactly how to get people's goats and seems to enjoy doing it. He's a great troll, lol.

He also seems more honest than 99% of our politicians(he may have some crazy views but at least he doesn't lie about them).

Maybe read this. Figure it out.

The American/Western sense of humour and sarcasm does not translate to craz..I mean Farsi.

The sad part is, if you look back to when The Colbert Report first came out, our media outlets screwed up quite a bit when quoting Colbert. Apparently, poor reporting skills isn't just a US problem.
