Cockroach

For God's Sake some one tell me what happen in this country? Look at this thiny cartoon for children. It says that:

... Cockroaches do not know human languages. And their own "Cockroachy" language is very difficult which even 80% of them can not speak, that's why they prefer to use other languages. When the Cockroaches can not understand their own language, how you can? ....


In the cartoon the boy try to conjugate a verb in "Cockroachy" language ... Cockroach, Cockroachy, Cockroaching ..... and the Cockroach says in Azeri (Turkish): I don't understand.

So some of our 24% Azeri minority in Iran (Turkish speaking of Iran) think that this cartoon offened them, then they did what ever they could against the newspaper. Now the cartoonist, Mana Neyestani and his editor are in jail and the paper has been banned!

Do you think that was offences? I don't think so ... because it said they prefer to speak other languages, it did not said that Cockroaches, speak Azeri ... it might be in Persian, English or Arabic without any harm as well ...

Where we live?
