Window Shopping

|

Iran has banned shops from displaying women's lingerie in their windows. The Islamic government has also banned "unveiled mannequins with noticeable curves" and barred men from selling women's underwear. But the mullahs are concerned about more than just women's unmentionables. They've also barred the sale of pigs, dogs and monkeys. And they've prohibited women from taking driving lessons from male instructors unless a male relative accompanies them.
