Supposedly even our newspaper underwear ads are

time I ship a package there the postman asks me if I checked the

in the local paper.
I doubt that too may little kids *want* to read Harlequins! Saucy
newspaper ads are another matter, but even so, if the Iranian
Government is spending the people's money on employing inspectors to
check for brassiere adverts, then you've got to wonder about their
priorities.
However, I can't see Iranian moral crusaders being much of a threat to
Wikipedia. Nor neoNazis, for that matter, though considering some of
the recent posts exulting in vandalism of their Nazipedia, I'd say
that they now have a powerful incentive and moral justification to
mount an underhanded campaign of their own.
