Iran's latest victim: TV show for children



Iranian TV Show Scrapped after Child Calls Toy Monkey Ahmadinejad
-Robert Tait

On Amoo (Uncle) Pourang a TV program watched by millions of Iranian children on state TV, presenter Dariush Farziayi asked the name of the toy monkey his young caller had been given as a reward for good behavior.

"Well, my father calls him Ahmadinejad," the child replied.

As a result, the program has been cancelled after a successful seven-year run.
