French Nouveau is soooo Faux Pas.....in Iran



Let me describe in a hypothetical situation of President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in a room full of French Nouveau posters and someone tells him the history and importance these posters played in paving the way for a new image of women not stuck in the kitchen.

(A golfer announcer like voice narrates the scene)

He approaches up to the poster. Puts his hand near his chin. He starts to tilt his head. He keeps this position, never scene anything like it. Ahmadinejad is thought to have left by now, but his clear perseverance in manner is very hopeful, in that he might be turning over a new leaf. Wait! He is now taking his hand and tearing the posters from the wall. Oh no, he just tore down a Alphonse Mucha poster for Job cigarette papers. This is a tragic day in Art Nouveau history and a regular day for Ahmadinejad.

End Scene
