Today in WTF: An Iranian Cleric's Sex Tape

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

Iranian soap opera star Zahra Ebrahmi (seen at right) has been embroiled in a sex tape scandal for more than two years now, with the controversy threatening her acting career and personal freedom.

However, at long last, another sex tape is poised to knock her out of the headlines, one that is potentially more sensational...

The following video is a clip, unfortunately not a very helpful one, offered up by the Daily Beast, of an Iranian cleric committing adultery on an office floor. (If you can find a better, more complete version, please feed us the link in the comments.)

“Nobody saw you come in, did they?” says the unidentified government employee. “Want to do some Nasnas?” Which is Iranian for "wanna bang?"

According to the Beast, this video was leaked during an investigation into the cleric's sex life-- as you know, having a sex life in the Middle Eastern country is considered "immoral," because that would mean people are free to make their own decisions. We'd like to add that the hidden camera is, we're guessing, part of a scheme to blackmail and/or remove a political rival, as was the recent Atlantic City sex tape.

Whatever the reason, this is just a tease... we want the rest, damn it.

"Iranian" is not a language. Persian, however, is.

Oh, was it?  Just a little casual racism to lighten everyone's day?

Well, 'having a sex life' is hardly considered immoral.

Iran (or more specifically, the Shi'a Islam of Iran) actually has a startlingly novel social arrangement called 'sigheh', or 'temporary marriage', which -as its name implies - allows couples to become legally married for a specific duration of time, even as short as a few minutes.

Ironically, the mullahs support it and the general public looks down on it.

Go figure.
