EXCLUSIVE: Iranian Police hair style guide issued

Today I can exclusively reveal that, to save police time, the Iranian Hair Police, the Amaken-e Omoomi, have issued the following pictorial guide to what is and isn't acceptable in the coiffeur department:

  1. Yes, such hair styles are not appropriate, especially that one which Ms Simpson has:) But I hope the new rules are not very strict.

  2. I'd like to see pictures of those arrested men, which hairstyles they had. I wonder if it were very extraordinary.
