"Loose women cause earthquakes, Iran hardliner says"

No comment necessary, really, other than: HA! In some ways it's almost a compliment - like, say, if it were the lyrics to a snappy rock song (a la ZZ Top) or a bluesy country song. Funny how the speaker changes everything.

Maybe this is a lesson that can be generalized to other discourse about social attitudes as well: think who you are before you say something. Vaguely, I'm reminded of John Mayer thinking that he has a "hood pass" to say the n-word.

  1. I saw this and was like, dude, if god was dealing earthquakes because of loose women, why aren't the earthquakes happening in Cancun or Amsterdam? Or at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch?
