In the Rose Garden of the Martyrs

by Mariam Hosseini - Fri, 25 May 2007 23:05:28 -0700

CIA Exposé and a “Show of Force”

by Sepideh Saremi - Thu, 24 May 2007 09:25:13 -0700

“Did Someone Order a Sexy Persian Wingman?”

by Sepideh Saremi - Sun, 13 May 2007 13:17:04 -0700

A few weeks ago, South Park did a pretty funny spoof of the film “300,” pitting Persian club owners against lesbians (the YouTube clip got taken down when Viacom complained). Now, the animated sitcom “American Dad,” which is about a family in which the father is a right-wing CIA agent, has bestowed the Persian community […]
