Check Out How Iranian Media Photoshopped Michelle Obama’s Oscar Dress

Feb. 25, 2013 2:45pm Erica Ritz

Iranian media was predictably upset that “Argo,” a film about the Iranian hostage crisis in 1979, won the Oscar for best picture at the Academy Awards Sunday. But there was one other thing they apparently didn’t like.

Michelle Obama’s outfit.

To be more accurate, they seem to have digitally altered her dress to make it seem more appropriate in the eyes of the fanatical Iranian leadership.

The Fars News Agency, which is affiliated with the Iranian government to an unknown degree, modified the image from this:

Iranian officials on Monday dismissed “Argo” as anti-Iranian propaganda for the Central Intelligence Agency, adding that it’s “not valuable [from] an artistic point of view” and won only by “resorting to extended advertisement and investment.”

They cited Michelle Obama’s presentation as proof that the film’s victory was politically motivated, adding that it was “produced by the Zionist company Warner Bros.”

I did not see the Oscars, I did not see the movies they talked about, but it was a self full filling prophecy, discussing her appearance at the Oscars has taken us places we never thought we could go?

There is some kind of connection between the timing of this film, and the events in Libya, what are the odds, you would watch a movie about the CIA and an embassy, and a real event concerning an embassy in the same year? Decades later?

Maybe we should ask the crystal ball of Mr. Crowley and the Church of Scientology, or Ozzy Osbourne? It would have been a lot more exciting watching a movie of how an Iranian ship was sank after it was caught laying mines?

Other than the few minutes it would take to explain that Suadi Arabia, an Islamic nation, forbid the US Navy to use islands as military bases to put a stop to that nonsense that was hiking the price of oil, we got around that limitation because of hard working people working for Ronald Reagan, that movie would have been a lot more exciting?

Now you can’t even go hiking in one of these Islamic countries without fearing for your life? But you still want to support the religion of Islam, why? Yeah, I read the baseball version of this story, some kind of juvenille game with Spielberg? That is supposed to take your mind off the fact we had a US Embassy with valuable human intel and investment on the ground open knowing full well it should not have been open?

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? The difference is we are not hysterical women, we are dedicated, patriotic, common sense loving Americans that hold our values above political embarrassment?

More evidence that the Academy and the Democrats are in bed together. Can you imagine Barbara Bush being asked to present Best Picture? And isn’t there a rule that presenters must be members of the Academy? Of all past presenters for best picture, all were actors or directors. By tradition, and maybe by rule, Michelle Obama had no business giving the award.

They didn’t go far enough. They should have covered her face and then it would have been a better picture. However, no picture at all would have been the best. Who cares???????????

When I saw her I thought they were giving her an honorary Oscar. If her husband could get the Nobel Peace Prize…..She did look nice, but where was her crown? Those serfs had better get with it or she won’t allow them their monthly vegetable rations..

I got news for you. . . . you may just be looking at the next presidential nominee whether you know it or not.

It would make perfect sense. Four terms for the Obama’s, two for the Mr. and two for the Mrs. That’s 16 yrs. in case you can’t count.

We hit the mute button now whenever either of the Obamas open their mouths. It’s always the same: condescending, scolding and/or more lying, elitist pablum that costs us more of our tax dollars for any speaking “engagement.” We’re done with them. I can no longer stand to watch him hip hop up and down his AF1 stairway or any stage he hops on. The narcissistic, self-appointed king. A legend in his own mind. Disagree with ANYthing in his agenda? You’re a racist. Enough. Bye.

Glenn said this morning somthing that i was already thinking, by having MOOCHELLE on the oscars they are insuring that the movies won’t get that big oscar winner bump this year, 50% of movie go’ers will say ah nope. I appreciate that they are doing that because thanks to Obama I have so little extra money to do anything with at least I won’t feel deprived that I never go to the movies anymore. Thanks Moochelle!

I think the First Cow Lady should wear her bangs about eight inches longer; better yet, a burqa.

She’s built like a T-Rex, and those massive, pumped-up trapezius and deltoids are scary.

What the hell makes her think we want to see THAT every damned day???

These people are so WRONGFULLY, ERRONEOUSLY FULL OF THEMSELVES.

So… Now the Iranian Media is providing cover for the Obama’s? They would’t want the FLOTUS to offend anyone with those super toned arms or hers so they made her appearance more suited to thier culture. They did add the manditory zionist verbiage so as not to appear too soft but everyone in the middle east knows exactly where our leaders stand with Israel.

Imelda Marcos incarnate. Just as Imelda collected shoes, Michelle is collecting clothes. Michelle cares nothing about the American people except on how much she can spend.
