So, old news Robert?
How about THAT?
A whole Division of Ninja Iranian females in 28mm?
(Yust kidding Robert!).
This Iranian news are getting more funny each day.

"The Iranian channel Press TV has produced the above 6.5-minute segment about these shinobis-in-training. The women in the video show off their fighting stances, defensive gymnastics, and stealth techniques, all set to a pulse-pounding techno-orchestral soundtrack.
As much as this report seems ripped straight from a 1980s straight-to-VHS release by the Cannon Group, it's more likely fodder for a Touchstone Pictures beating-the-odds flick a few decades hence.
Ninja training allows Iranian women to demonstrate their martial prowess in a society that marginalizes them with governmental and religious sanctions. As The Atlantic notes"

Flying boats and now ninja women. What are they? KAOS to our CONTROL?

I think the Iranian propaganda machine is trying to surpass Baghdad Bob for over the top rhetoric!

Perhaps give them a driving test, since I'm not sure they are permitted to drive.

That's ok…we will counter with attendees from Pirate Fests all across the US.

It's so silly that it is the most funny (and ridiculous) of all of them!

One of my daughter's godmothers is Iranian (the other is Argentine) a more lovely woman, it's hard to imagine.

Mako, you are confusing Iran (where women can drive) with that stalwart defender of democracy, Saudi, where women can't. IIRC they recently jailed a woman for a 20 year stretch for trying to organise a woman driving day.

@Khusrau
Your a bit behind the times, Saudi women are now allowed to drive.

skippy000108 Feb 2012 6:23 a.m. PST

I predict a rise of hit and runs against Saudi moral police.
