Pharrell's Happy
will get you arrested...
You
can't make people happy I guess. Yes, this video is really harmless.
It is just some people dancing around to the Happy song. Yet, this
pissed some people off and six people from this video got arrested.
From
Billboard.com, ((According to CNN,
Tehran Police Chief police chief Hossein Sajedinia ordered the
arrests of the dancers over an "obscene video clip that offended
the public morals and was released in cyberspace." Sajedinia
said the "vulgar clip" had "hurt public chastity."
))
Let me be the
first to tell you to f' off, Hossein. And, you're showing your age
by calling the Internet “cyberspace”. Next, you'll be talking
about a “series of tubes”. Have you been to X-hamster or
YouPorn? Your head will explode, actually both heads.
Well, cooler
heads released the people in the video. They had to make a public
statement though. From
The Wire, ((The six people in the video were featured
on state television to apologize, and explained that they were
just trying to express their love for Iran. ))
Also, something
good did come from Twitter in the form of #FreeHappyIranians
.
I've also read reports that the director is still in jail.
