Iran Bans Valentines Day and You are too Damn lazy to Celebrate it!

This could land you in hot soup in Iran.

Just in case you are taking the whole ritual of Valentines Day for granted, as I am, consider this. Valentines Day has been banned in Iran. The Iranian regime has outlawed Valentine's Day. "Symbols of hearts, half-hearts, red roses, and any activities promoting this day are banned," announced state media last month. "Authorities will take legal action against those who ignore the ban."

In Addition to that.....

The Iranian state prohibited mingling of the sexes, rap music, rock music, western music, women playing in bands, too-bright nail polish, laughter in hospital corridors, ancient Persian rites-of-spring celebrations (Nowrooz), and even the mention of foreign food recipes in state media. This was officially announced by a state-run website on Feb. 6. This basically means you can have more fun in a convent that in Iran.

So all the more reason to go celebrate Valentines Day just because you can!
