"You know, the song sharing feature is nice. But the interface is kind of hinky, and frankly the reliability just isn't there. For my money, if you need a consumer electronics device for a mission critical task, like detonating IEDs in Iraq, you still can't do better than the iPod. Allah be praised."That was Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, speaking at MacWorld Persia last week. Much love, Mahmoud. Four thousand Nanos are on their way as we speak. Oh, and we managed to track down a box of those wacky aluminum cylinders you wanted. Thanks for bringing peace and stability to your strife-torn region. Namaste.

I actually like this man.
I think he is not a half what Western ´dog´ journalists paints him.
I mean, the China development is seen as a treat, India is not.
Pakistan, a much more less democratic country can have a nuke, Iran cannot.

Does Mr H. Kissinger still alive?
It seams like saying NO to the ´West´ is buying the terrorist ticket.
Fake Steve, Fake Steve, Fake Steve........ this is a vast mistake. Joking about sending 4K nano's to Iran to be used to blow up our troops in Iraq?
Is this your famous RDF at work, or do you truly live under a rock somewhere?
Time and time again we've seen that the American public have ZERO SENSE OF HUMOR on this particular topic.
You are about to see your words plastered and blogged-about from coast to coast, sea-to-shining-sea... you are about to become the new Osama.
I have noticed this in the past- sometimes you can be a real asshole.
Nice going.
... to concerned fsj fan: FJS is satire, not humor- by definition satire is supposed to be mean to make its point. If satire doesn't offend it doesn't exist. It's not a joke.
You do get a variety of weirdos who read your blog... geez-takes all the fun out of it- anyway, what I wanted to say is...he looks like Chewbaca to me for somereason-myst be that long facial hair on him.....
I have to agree with the concerned fsj fan here, this blog is not funny, ironic or satirical. Yours is the only blog that I regularly read but you scraped the barrel with this piece of dog doo. Oh well onwards and upwards.
Is he listening to a David Duke podcast? Or is he secretly admiring the Israeli Eurovision song wishing he could understand the french choruses?
Ahmadinejad is a wily shit, but there is no reason not to satirize EVERYTHING in your path, FSJ. These glum chums would have kept Jack Benny and Charlie Chaplin from making fun of Hitler.
Professor Batty, go look up the word "satire" in the dictionary. Who or what is the target/recipient of FSJ's satire?
Where is the satire/irony/humor in saying, "let me help this little moron blow up our own troops more efficiently. Hah hah!"?
I know, I know- Zunes suck and iPods are cool...... so let FSJ make this point while peripherally and obliviously trampling on the sensibilities of the entire nation, while our sons and daughters are GETTING BLOWN UP, FOR REAL, EVERY FUCKING DAY over there.
I love it when immature geeks use big words they THINK they know the meaning of.
Look, FSJ has fun at the expense of some causes I see as worthy, and even used the satirical vehicle to imply things I totally disagree with (eg: I believe that global warming is as man made and serious as the likes of Gore make out). However I laughed out loud reading this one, as I have at others where he points the stick at things I hold dear. Where is people's sense of humour. Advice to the offended: don't take everything (particularly yourselves) so seriously.
Hey,
Mahmoud here. Thanks for the nano technology, but you are mistaken that I bomb American troops in Iraq. I am in Iran, although I can understand how a person who puts an "i" in front of every word can get them mixed up (iRaq, iRan, iNdonesia, iCeland, iSlam, iPod, etc). Iraq and Iran are different countries, although we did try to annex them a few years ago. Looks like you gringos are having some of the same problems we had in Iraq. Don't worry, though. We got your back. Namaste back at you if that means allah be praised.
Mahmoud again. Since you have been so nice to me, here is a gift for you. Please follow directions and maybe I'll see you in Paradise. I'll save a few virgins for you.
Here's the gift:

...to fsj fan:
satire, >n.
1. a literary work in which vices, follies, stupidities, abuses, etc. are held up to ridicule and contempt.
2. the use of ridicule, sarcasm, irony, etc. to expose, attack, or deride vices, follies, etc.
-Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary
FSJ is satire. This post is perfect satire. The dictionary definition says nothing whatsoever about joking or humor. Ask yourself: Why are our sons and daughters getting blow up in Iraq?
Why don't u 'tards stop bitching at a blog and go and stop your president waging war half way around the world. The richest nation on the planet attacks the poorest ones (Afganistan) to steal their oil (Iraq), and you get offended by this blog?
Stop picking fights, start doing some good.
Everybody in the world hates America right now, you are just to stupid to understand why.
Remember, FSJ's a Brit and it's not like we've any troops in Iranian sights. Hell no.
Anyway, no one in their right or wrong mind would use an iPod to blow an IED. Or a Rolex. Or an iPhone either, if it's not going to get seen on film and … used for anti-Apple FUD? Sheesh, there are a few other wars in this world!
What will turn Iran around is when we treat them with respect, ply them with fine wares, and yes let them make all the nukes they want. It's inevitable. Just like the Tehran Apple Store!
Mutually Assured (economic) Destruction. No one could blow up the true holy hand of Cupertino once they've bitten the RDF.
Mahmoud, my bro, we all know you're meddling in Iraq. Come on dude.
What´s the problem?
With whatever remark, there´ll be someone who feels an itch. - I thought "Dude, don´t go there" when he was talking global warming.
So what?
Personally, I think that terrorism is a homemade problem: The first world is shafting the rest of the world through protectionist tariffs and then want´s to get applauded for a mere couple of billion dollars of foreign aid.
The solution is really simple: Treat everyone like a grown-up who´s actually on eye level with you, i.e. get rid of these tariffs and foreign aid.
Think Mahmoud is a nutcase? I think he´s playing his role really well, and that he´s way ahead of GWB and the likes:
"Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth".
Yep, definitely a nutcase.
"This crusade, this war on terrorism, is going to take a long time."
Now, that´s a really moderate, thoughtful comment, right?
- "We´re gonna bomb the afghans back to the stone age"
afghan reply- " oooh, upgrade" (thanks for the joke, Robin Williams)
Now, where was I? Ah, yes, FSJ, dontcha agree that it is overkill to waste nanos worth $600,000 for some roadside IEDs to blow up $100,000 Hummers? Lemme give you my address, I can make much better use of ´em...
PS.: IIRC, Iraq had to be attacked in order to stop the goons from attacking us again after 911. So those "brave" (and, in my opinion, often stupid, and/or uneducated) young marines are basically cannon fodder. And hey, it works really well: While some 3,500 armed forces died in Iraq (over 20,000 wounded, many more permanently traumatized), the world has been spared of deadly terrorist attacks, except for: Bali 02, Jakarta 03, Jakarta 04, Madrid, London, Bali 05 ... (did I forget any?) Is it only me, or does it also scare you, that you have to memorize places and dates, because several places have already been hit more than once?
Congratulations to the US & UK. - My heartfelt thanks.
Matt
Damn folks! Grow a sense of humor. Ok, so start with a brain and work your way up.
Nex tthing you know the anit-tard police will be raising hell about FSJ using 'tard' all the time and how their feelings are hurt.
So you didn't like it. So it hurt your feelings. So what? Suck it up, folks. The world isn't fair. The world hurts sometimes. But remember, Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but words are friggin hillarious."

Err... hmmm... I would advise against using iPods for detonating IEDs...
You see, we have a patent on that since the mid '60s - i's just that we never aknowledged it although the whole UN has been suspecting it.
Sure, there aren't exactly iPods as our technology is far more advanced. But if you ever travel to the Neguev, we'll be happy to show you (after you sign an NDA of course).
It's too easy to wind up the republitards, particularly the spittle-flecked window-lickers doing the self-righteous whining thing these wankatrons are renowned for.
