Iranian TV show scrapped after child calls toy monkey Ahmadinejad live on air

The Mullahcracy can try to hide the truth from from the people of Iran but it won't change the fact that millions of Iranians hate the Mullahcracy. Telegraph via Hotair Headlines

When the presenter of Amoo Pourang (Uncle Pourang), a programme watched by millions of Iranian children three times a week on state TV, asked the name of the toy the boy had been given as a reward for behaving himself, the child replied: "Well, my father calls him Ahmadinejad."

The father's likely unease at his son's honesty was matched by the programme makers after the state broadcaster, IRIB, immediately responded by removing the show from viewing schedules, The Guardian reported.

The popular show has been running for a very successful seven years but is now due to screened for the final time next week, the paper added.

Jahan News, a conservative website, said the decision was sparked by "the high financial and spiritual damage" caused by live broadcasts.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I'm sure that was the reason why.
