Life Imitates The Cube: Iran's Mullahs Photoshop A Missile


![]() | Once again, life imitates the People's Cube as Iran's Propaganda Department releases a photoshopped picture of a missile launch that directly follows our earlier advice to them, to photoshop their own fakes instead of stealing them from the People's Cube. As you may remember, in Dec. 2007, Iran's official propaganda website used our spoof image "Iran heart Jews" to illustrate a "current truth" that Jews are welcome in the Islamic Republic of Iran (see below). |
Self-inflicted poetic justice: Part I
The original Farsi-language placard says "Nuclear power is our absolute right," meaning that the image was used as a propaganda tool to justify Iran's nuclear program - so it could threaten and maybe even annihilate the Jews in Israel. ![]() | In our spoof, we changed the message to the complete opposite, making it appear improbable. To be fair, the Mullahs' story about Iran's love for the Jews was just as improbable. It was only logical to put them together. ![]() |
The Iranian Mullahs fell for it and used our spoof that ridiculed their stupid lies, to back more of their stupid lies, thus proving our original point that (a) they lie and (b) they are stupid. |
Self-inflicted poetic justice: Part II
Here's another advice: learning Photoshop basics may get you a large star on the kitchen refrigerator and a bumper sticker for your mom that says "My Child Is Beet of the Week at The People's Cube" (curtesy of Commissarka Pinkie), but if you really, really want to defeat the Great Satan and its Zionist puppets (or is it the other way around?) you have to go beyond the clone stamp and learn how to apply the smudge tool. You will see how much fun it really is, once you get the hang of it.
That said, we must commend Iran's Propaganda Directorate for the innovative, energy-saving way to intimidate the Zionists. One fake missile out of four amounts to 25% savings in greenhouse emissions (data obtained by Marshal Pupovich).
We thank them for the moral, environmentally conscious approach to nuclear holocaust. We can only wish the Pentagon's nuclear mushrooms in Nevada Desert had also been photoshopped! That would have protected the environment, reduced the carbon footprint, and - as an added bonus - we would be all speaking Russian and using the metric system!
So, after all, the Iranian government, its elite Revolutionary Guards, and its Ministry of Culture and Guidance to Islam deserve Pinkie's prestigious Beet of the Week Award, which comes with a coupon book good for 25 rubles worth of goods and services at Vlad's Discount Military Hardware, yours for only $100.00.
We'll also ask Pinkie to send their moms bumper stickers that say "My Child Is Beet of the Week at The People's Cube." Coming Soon: Bumper stickers that say, "My Kid Had Your Beet of the Week Kid Purged."
This post was prompted by an email from the masses:
Comrade Rogue
In Lenin's name, greetings, Comrade!In the People's glorious news item, The People's Cube Pwns Iranian Propaganda, you noted that the Iranians must learn to Photoshop ideologically correct images themselves. And praise Marx, thanks to their glorious People's Five-Year Photoshop Project, they have now done so! Glory to the great Iranian People's Revolution, long may they stand against the imperialist pig-dogs!
Comrade Rogue
For this, Comrade Rogue also receives Pinkie's prestigious Beet of the Week Award:






Comrades, I gladly introduce you in a series of Religion of Peace™ themed manipulations:





What's scary is the fact that they're trying to develop nuclear weapons and they can't do a passable job using Photoshop™. I just hope they do the same quality of work when they manufacture the triggering mechanism.


Zionistlessness? I think I have been too much chewing the qaat. I denounce myself.















Comrade Red Bubba, qaat is good for you. But don't let me stand in the way of your self-denunciation.

Red Bubba, I betA timely observation. All of us here in the breezy atmosphere of Hope and Change at the People's Sewage Treatment Plant will be suspending all reason and common sense and celebrating "National Summer Learning Day" which is our Great Hopeful Helmsman's greatest legislative accomplishment. Apparently it was a one-time 2007 deal, but we can be nostalgic for the time when BHO was pushing his bold progressive agenda for the common good. I mean, "learning", you can imagine how many conservatives opposed this bill? Cheney must have slept through the day or he would have made EGWB veto the resolution.
S. Res. 268: A resolution designating July 12, 2007, as "National Summer Learning Day"Bill
Introduced: | Jul 11, 2007 |
Sponsor: | Sen. Barack Obama [D-IL] |
Status: | Passed Senate |

"Statistic: Barack Obama missed 268 of 1240 votes (22%) since Jan 6, 2005 (Exceedingly Poor relative to peers)."
That the Obamessiah had the good sense to absent himself from so many votes taken by a Congress with a 9% approval rating speaks well of this wise man. It is all in the progressive way to look at facts Comrades.

Why don't they just cut to the chase and photoshop total victory over the Zionists?
Holy F%$k!
Once again I am shown how unworthy I am to have access to this website.!
OMFG!
LMAO!
Just when I though I had a bead on everything!
You guys and hairy arm-pitted women here are gifted!


I shall personally don my skimpiest belly dancer outfit and do a dance of the seven veils for our beloved mullahs. Then I shall volunteer to be the seventy-third virgin for the next Iranian martyr and personally introduce him to Allah!
XOXOXOXOXO

I'm as progressive as I can possibly be,but I'll take a pass on the hairy revolution.

Okay,I wasn't aware of the revolutionary clout that one could engender by not shaving one's armpits....sounds like a breeding ground for revolutionary stank, if you ask me.I'm as progressive as I can possibly be,but I'll take a pass on the hairy revolution.
After all.... you are not French!!!!

Yes comrade Navigator. There are many wagon wrecks daily. Such are undoubtedly caused by reactionary saboteurs or perhaps global warming.


Marshal Pupovich
Now wait just a minute.... how many shaved armpits do you see at a Code Pink rally?/karacter off
ROTFLMAO!!!
That got my morning off to a good laugh. And it made me wonder.... Can them thar' Code Pink-Os braid their armpit hair? And hang little beads from them?
/karacter on


Marshal Pupovich
How close can one shave one's armpits with a shovel?Comrade Marshall, with all due respect, I use the bayonet on my AK-47. Here is a recent photo of me entertaining the Politburo at Comrade Zinoviev's dacha. Does this not look like a close shave to you?



Marshal Pupovich
Now wait just a minute.... how many shaved armpits do you see at a Code Pink rally? Ir Woodstock for that matter? Only the republican oppressors women are bound to shaving their armpits, a most unnatural condition I might add. I am seriously questioning some of the progressive spirit I see around here.Comrade Marshall, I must protest again. How many forced labor camps do Code Pink run? How many reactionaries have they executed in the past week? They are mere amateurs.


All Hussies have hairless pits, because the Sacred Feminine Michelle Magdalene does, and we have been constantly assured that she is Just Like Us. We are eagerly awaiting further light from her as to how the hair should be removed, whether it is by razor, wax, shovel, bayonet, or a hockey stick, etc. We have great faith that further information on this very important issue will be made available to us at any moment, anywhere.
In the meantime, the VRWC will saturate the blogosphere with petty nonsense about how the hair has been "scrubbed out", much the same as the Obamessiah's so-called previous position on the surge posted at his website; or for that matter, non-persons allegedly once photographed with Stalin. We'd rather not comment or confirm any of that as it would only create another distraction.

Aunt Nadzha, you need not be so formal with me, at least when not on Party business. Do you not recognize your great great nephew?
Any way, I was just pointing out that the "ease on the eyes" was much different when ones such as you were manning the barricades. People from those days knew what real struggle against imperialism was about. These days, alas, we have "comrades" such as this advocating for our cause...

I do not even wish to know whether she shaves under her arms or with what sort of chain saw she uses to accomplish such a task.

Comrade Marshall, I must insist that we speak in all formality in deference to our great proletarian mission. When you come to Zubalevo to visit our dacha you may drop the formality and perhaps I shall alllow you to sniff my working class panties.
Thank you for posting the lovely photo of Comrade Lyudmilla Alexandrovna Sinyavskaya. She is the poster girl for Code Pink. As you can easily see, the Comrade pays close attention to her feminine hygiene by shaving her legs and belly. She allows her belly to hang below her knees in order that all revolutionary-minded Comrades may see her loveliness.






Marshal Pupovich
Comrade Cube! Good to see you this morning. I was about to mention to Comrade Nadezhda how I look forward to visiting her at her dacha since I have been on a "working vacation" since I have not received my new responsibilities as Marshal since my promotion from Commissar. I have been considering whom I may entrust the Dept of Eco Prostitution and Mental Health,Comrade Marshall, you are welcome to visit my dacha at any time. Please call ahead first to make sure Comrade Josif Vissarionovitch is not present, and bring a bottle or two of champagne.
You may see me model my new outfit when you visit!

I have a recommendation for the Commisar of Eco Prostitution and Mental Health. Comrade Albert Albertovitch Goronov, a recent defector from a reactionary capitalist country.


I refuse to believe that.




Hussies n' Thingies
Marshal Pupovich,please,for the love of Lenin....tell me that the photo of the Code Pink Princess was photoshopped!!! That cannot be her real belly heading for the floor!I refuse to believe that.
I can assure you.... I did not touch that photo... in any way, shape, or form. No question why the Chairman has found company with toasters, a snapping turtle, or even that poor Governor's pooch we keep hearing about.

HEY!!! I'm still writing the checks to the therapist for comrade Gov. Tim Kaine's (S-VA) border collie. That pooch was horrendously traumatized! She piddles whenever Sen. Jim "Frogface" Webb (S-VA) comes over (and I can understand why). And everytime she sees a picture of Martina Navratilova she jumps up and down with glee and tries to hump it.

I honestly thought that this photo had been changed. I can't believe that her gut is about to hit the floor....so repulsively bizzare.

I can't wait till they also discover that....public transportation costs are going up as well.... wonder if then they will start thinking that maybe we need more oil.

What we need, comrade Marshal, is even less fuel and higher prices for it. This will raise the cost of public transportation, as you rightly point out, but that is to be desired, not deplored. If the cost of public transport rises, we must raise taxes, not lower costs! Higher taxes means more control for the government, more regulation of the lives of the proles, and more apparatchiks to oversee that regulation. Isn't that what we are all about?



Egads and Gadzooks Comrade Brain! Did you not see my distinctly manly character off symbol? LOL! Had to call it manly considering what I just posted to another comrade a minute ago.

...while on the People's Blog, there's nothing but hand-wringing and head-shaking and beard-pulling and tongue-clucking and general disapproval over a new and improved Pinkie?Pinkie, I think if you'll read my post-makeover comment, you will find that I was highly equivocal, hopeful, yes, but ready to change my position depending on the prevailing winds of destiny.


Marshal Pupovich
Certainly it was not due to a lack of amorous comrades seeking your favor, Commissar Vodkov is evidence of that not to mention the many fine Comrades I have seen here complement you for your revolutionary beauty. For that matter, I seem to recall even the ever so prized Red Square himself mention this?In the first place, I got a makeover specifically so I could get a better comrade than Vodkov.
And in the second place re Red Square, if you're talking about that video ("Mr. Gorbachev, tear down my bodice!") he only referred to me as "young Pinkie", implying that I was much younger when it was made, but now I'm now old and dried out and creaky and wrinkled up and just plain too scary for words. He'd have done better to omit the adjective altogether.




You know you are the very model of what The Party™ wants to project as the modern Soviet American woman. With your scarlet head scarf, and broad, rosy, nose ... and ... last but not least ... your broad, muscular torso and arms!!! *drool*

I fear she is being seduced by the evil capitalist forces that have, and continue, to corrupt the collectivist values that The Party™ struggles to instill in every Soviet American. Before you know it, she will want caviar, champagne, and a brand new Cadillac Esclade with a set of dubs and a 10 speaker Bose sound system and entertainment system! Is not her Zaporozhet not enough???

I DENOUNCE COMMISSARKA PINKIE!
and hope that she quickly gets her head and heart back into the struggle for Equal Outcomes for All. Get back on the ledge Commissarka! The Party still needs you!






Besides, Michelle Obama got new clothes! And new fat faux pearls! And a new hairdo, so she can look just like Jackie! Don't you see? I had to get a makeover because that's what Michelle did, and everyone knows she's Just Like Us!
