Iran Holding “Death To America” Art Contest…
I can think of plenty of American libs who would love to take part in this.
A new anti-American competition has been launched in Tehran: A 100,000,000 Iranian Rial (roughly $4,000) prize is promised to the best anti-American piece of art, the British Daily Mail reported.
The competition, which is called Marg bar Amrika, (“Down with America” or “Death to America” in Farsi) invites Iranians to send in works on anti-US topics such as the “US and global Zionism,” “why the US is not reliable” and of course “the US and oppression.”
The two part competition reflects poorly on the Iranian government’s recent attempt to warm its relations with the West.
According to the Mail, the awards are sponsored by hardliner news agencies and conservative television stations. According to their report, a website promoting the competition exhibited the US’s Uncle Sam clasping a medieval mace.

The Iranian government has since shut this down.
