(Notice the sharpened canines- good for piercing the flesh and sucking the blood!)
The dramatic run up to the Iran's voting day gave the impression that most of the country's population were involved in some sort of political process which when finished would give a fair representation of what the general public wanted from their rulers. For some reason everyone forgot who the process was hosted by.
In a break from Iran's usual liberal atmosphere, post election protests and accusations have been brutally suppressed. Mr Hammerninjahead's government has also implemented a media blackout, denying the population ongoing information about their collective plight. Mr Ahmadinjemad? Armydungeonad? The President of Iran himself has said that the blatant repression of those he is responsible for is "free and fair"- at no extra cost to the public, tax payers will be pleased with the complimentary violence provided by the state.
That wily pair, the Ayatollah Mr. Khamenei and Mr A. certainly had the world going though. For a long time the illusion of Democracy was maintained until the climactic moment when the two dashed the hopes of not only their own people, but many others around the world- a practical joke gone wrong?
Rather than reaffirming their position in Iran, this mock election has only made the ruling party appear even more insane than before. Of course the Iranian government's previous attempts at international PR seem to suggest that insane is the brand they are going for, and we can therefore only assume that they are marketing savants, and that this is their masterstroke.
