1. Iran is right for once
USA   (02.26.13)
I don't agree with most of what Iran does but making Michelle Obama look less animalistic was the right thing to do.
2. The censored version actually looks nicer
Avi Ze'ev ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.26.13)
She is free to wear what she wants, but she looked much nicer in the photoshopped one.
3. THEY JUST HAVE TOO MUCH TIME
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (02.26.13)
on their hand. I suggest mullahs should invent modesty sun glasses. They claim to have the technology to do just about anything. They should make these sun glasses that could photo shop every immodest photo or movie on the spot. Their problems will be solved right away.
4. Why am i thinking on ...
marc ,   belgium   (02.26.13)
"The Gatekeepers" and "5 Broken Cameras" or "No Queen Esther in Purim costume ads"?
5. Oh my gosh! ...
Orly ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.26.13)
... Just like us!
6. insensitivity and Iran
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (02.26.13)
I never thought that I would agree with Iran on anyth9ing, but Mrs Obama's taste in clothing is appalling. A first lady should be dignified as she represents the highest level of a country not the lowest. Her taste in clothing seems to gathered from the trash buckets of Hollywood.
7. to iranian people
alfredo ,   philippines   (02.26.13)
its not the we can count on its the character... we dress good but we kill people tsk tsk tsk.. what do you say?
8. At least they didn't erase her image entirely
Lisa   (02.26.13)
Like the haredim did to Hilary Clinton.
9. As usual blame the woman instead of the man
Veronique ,   Israel   (02.26.13)
These guys and a lot more guys are obsessed with women! That's because they don't see women enough and don't have enough "normal" (non-sexual) contact with them so they are oversensitized and get crazy! Liberate your women and you will yourselves be free from temptation!
10. Judging by the comments...
Ilan ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (02.26.13)
the conclusion i can make is Iran and Israel are full of religious yahoos. Good thing only one of them is run by said group!!! Yeah, its revealing put apparently the concept of status is beyond you. Michelle Obama is a celebrity like those actors, and celebrities get to wear designer dresses. no one forced you to watch the Oscars, and i bet the Iranians loved Ted making those Jewish jokes. and yes, i'm pretty sure Argo is an anti-Iranian film, as in the people who run the country are f'ed up, not the people living there! But what do you i know???
11. So thankful
Devorah   (02.26.13)
that Catherine Ashton was not photographed wearing a shoulder-baring anything.
