Iran: New Jersey is paradise

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

A torture session in Iran took a strange turn when an elite policeman told his captive, a Newsweek reporter, that he believed New Jersey must be heaven on earth.

Newsweek Reporter Maziar Bahari talks to 60 Minutes in his first television interview since his release after 118 days in an Iranian prison.

In a television interview to air Sunday at 7 p.m. on CBS, reporter Maziar Bahari, an Iranian-Canadian, recounts the Revolutionary Guard’s obsession with the Garden State.

The guard seemed to believe sex and alcohol can be enjoyed easily in New Jersey.

“I think the words ‘New Jersey’ sounded to him like the most American place that you can be in your life,” said Bahari, who was held captive for 118 days in an Iranian prison.

“He hated me and he was jealous of me at the same time because I had been to New Jersey.”

America is so highly regarded that even New Jersey looks appealing.

The guard must be a huge Sopranos fan.

Badda Bing!!

It isn't like you can't get sex or alcohol in Iran or anywhere else in the ME for that matter. You just have to do it behind closed doors and maybe pay the police a bribe so they won't bust your party. There are smugglers that bring in whiskey and unfortunately heroin as well. Heroin addiction has become increasingly problematic since the Regime outlawed alcohol. Some people like to make wine at home. There are prostitutes in Iran like in every country. There are horny young men that obsess about losing their virginity and try to chat up girls in the hopes of finding a girlfriend that will put out just like anywhere else. You just have to put forth a little more effort and stress more about getting caught.

You can get plenty of booze in Israel.

Many other ME countries as well. They're not all Islamic shariah states.

a good indication of how screwed up things are over there.

[SuperDuper! 230]

Agreed. NJ is just an armpit, and has THE worst drivers in the country. High Auto insurance rates there support this fact. Plus, it's infested with Guidos!

[Niels Bohr 72]

Agreed. Iran is so screwed up. To think this guy is a top official in Iran to know little of New Jersey. They let people like him police Iran. Goes to show how many people in Iran are confuzzle.

Well, while I was not looking, New York took the #1 spot for worst drivers, namely determined by documented cases of Road Rage

Interestingly Louisiana nor NJ made the top 5 this year. Maybe in LA the drivers are still angry at Katrina

Are there many Guido Douchebag types in Louisiana?

Naww, not too many guidos... just your usual run of the mill, folks on cell phones, not payin' attention, and then getting mad when they suddenly have to merge or turn... No lie, i saw a woman reading a book while she was driving the other day ! Sometimes people get out of their cars and start yelling... it's a great time.

LA insurance rates are comparable in price to NJ rates... If you can believe that!
