This post on Iranian censorship was sent my way and I find it worth repeating. The post provides a glimpse in to the extent of censorship of the media in Iran for images and text that are contra the government and mullahs beliefs. The post has an extensive catalogue of images of the doctored and cut up pages of National Geographic, The Economist and Wallpaper. Note that not all of the cover ups are political or ideological in nature, but address the female body.
Lastly, we do have to take the blogger’s word for it that these are in fact real magazines that were genuinely altered in Iran.
