I'm not up on my Persian history, but I'm pretty sure shahs weren't running around with pierced cheekbones and bikini bottoms. But somebody stop me if my logic here is faulty.

I am torn between vomitting again and LOLZ at the absolute absurdity. I was reading somewhere that they were gayifing the Persians to contrasting then with the manly men Spartans, (cause gayness=effeteness=evil typifier, of course). And manly men are always noble and some shit. I don't know. The comic was apparently written by one frank Miller? Who has race and gender problems up the wazoo. Seemed to appeal to ignorant assholish white boys for the most part. And as for (First lesson: Armenia =! Iran, but whatev.)
I'm wondering 1. If they teach geography in American schools and 2. If the children are introduced to atlases in those classes. I'm guessing not.
