I love how none of the Iranian players are mentioned.

Apparently the Great Satan can ball, must be all those Blue Devils and Demon Deacons.

Dear Subby,
Thank you for the guffaw on this the day before Independence Day is observed.
Sincerely,

Yeah. We may always be their evil satanic imperialists, but they can never claim we don't have a mean hook shot.

Well played subby.

Iran has a basketball team? How western capitalistic of them.

Soon I discovered that this rock thing was true: Jerry Lee Lewis was the Devil. Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet. All of a sudden I found myself in love with the World, so there was only one thing I could do...


...was masturbate to the hot persian chicks that will hopefully show up in the thread soon.

John McCain sang that ditty to the tune of "Barbara Ann" during a campaign appearance last year...classy!

More to the point of this article, maybe this will pare down that awful Iranian arrogance a little bit. As a half-Pak American myself (I tip my hat to whoever came up with AfPak) I can't stand how Iranians look down their noses at everybody else. As such I am extremely delighted with this outcome even though it's just a junior basketball game :)

One could go further and say that most threads, or parties, are better with hot Persian chicks :D

Maybe, if we could get subby's Twitter feed of the game, this thread could go triple platinum.

Google for "Capitol Steps, Bomb Iraq". I couldn't find a Youtube video of the song, but there are a bunch of sites that host the mp3 out there. Amazon also has a preview of it.

YES! FINALLY!!


Sorry I did that but I have been trying to get a story approved for over 18 months. It has been humbling. Man, I used to think that I was witty. Today I only suck a little.

Short explanation - people can't take a joke.

It may have been an inappropriate joke, but it still was a joke.

As some back story, he essentially did a version of a spoof song that was originally written when Bush I was in office, joking about bombing Iraq during the first Gulf War.

That's not sad. What's sad is that we haven't won the junior title --in a sport we farking invented-- in 18 years.

Can we not do anything anymore? I was about to throw in "except eat all day and get fat", but even little Asian women are kicking our asses in eating contests.

All those professional European leagues are the epitome of ghetto.

Same here. (Well, I've had 3, but none in a while.) And what do the three of us have in common? Oh yeah, we don't want to shell out 5 bucks a month to waste even more time here.

HOLY CRAP I'm not sure what was more awesome, that I knew instantly what screen cap that movie is from, or that I distinctly heard that guy's voice in my head, saying those exact words.

/nothing's obscure!
//that was an awesome movie
///i wonder if its available in HD
