The blue logo on the top right of the picture above featuring MAD [Mesbah Yazdi], belongs to the Tehran daily Tehran-e Emrooz [Tehran Today] which is affiliated with Mayor Qalibaf of Tehran.
Last week, this logo raised much controversy when the Partoyeh Sokhan weekly magazine wrote an “analysis” of the logo claiming that it looked like a dancing woman. The magazine wrote: “1- the letter “reh” is written in such a way to make it look like the legs of a female. 2-The letters “veh” and “zeh” are brought together to make them look like a hand. 3- The dot for the letter “zeh” is positioned too close to the line, and is meant to be the head of the female. We ask the ministry of culture to send a warning to this newspaper and force them to change their logo.”
[If you haven't noticed, newspapers in Iran, not to mention pretty much everything in Iran, are mostly run by men suffering from sexual repression.]
Now Tehran Today has been officially banned for publishing the photo below:

The photo was taken by photographer Mehdi Ghasemi in 2007 during an Ahmadinejad visit to Ahwaz, in the South of Iran. It was then published my ISNA and a number of newspapers. Now, Tehran Today has been banned for reprinting the photo.
I guess the dancing woman will have to go back to her day job.
