I have to wonder if he obtained the permission of his Iranian-girlfriend-back-in-1989. hmmm.gif

(He's a real comedian.)

Only if you printed it out, wrapped some hashish in it, and smoked it.

(Edit - Oops, too late! unhappy.gif )

I vaguely recall that they do have stoning in some rural Iranian communities for certain offenses (presumably including porn-related ones) under Sharia law, but I don't believe their society is so far-gone as to automatically assume guilt on the part of someone who simply appears in a photograph with no clothes on. As for the guy who took the photo... maybe, but they'd still have to prove malicious intent for a stoning, wouldn't they? Maybe they'd just give him 50 years and have done with it.

To be fair, he may be asking about the hirsutism itself, not than the photo of it.

Naah, Mr. Emperor isn't that ignorant of Persian culture. If Iranians started stoning each other just for being hirsute... well, I could make a joke about this, but that would be highly inappropriate for an occasionally family-friendly website.
