Dupe entry: 'Iran claims AIDS research breakthrough

Iran claims AIDS research breakthrough

Ma, get the popcorn! Iran's announcing another one of its "breakthroughs"!

TEHRAN, Sept. 6 (UPI) -- Iran's Ministry of Health claimed to have made a medical breakthrough with a formula to control symptoms of AIDS.

But remember, only infidels get AIDS. This research is solely for the benefit of you infidels from the goodness of our hearts. Then we'll kill you.

The state-controlled IRNA news agency quoted an unidentified ministry employee as saying, "The research studies to find out a formula to cure AIDS was initiated during the tenure of two former health ministers and have led to useful results."

Useful for who? Or should it be "what"?

Former Minister of Health and Medical Education Dr. Mohammad Farhadi said the chemical and herbal treatment appeared effective on other immune disorders as well.

As long as you're a goat.

"The theory was to determine whether or not it is possible to boost the immunity system of the body. Some 60 projects were initiated to attain the result," Farhadi said in the IRNA report.

OK, Mahmoud, the eye of newt didn't work. Try giving the next goat some dillweed. And have Ahmadinahijab wear a condom next time. Call me when he's done. I can't watch.

The announcement came a day before an international meeting to discuss U.N. sanctions against Iran for refusing to curtail the enrichment of uranium or allow its monitoring.

Let us make bombs or we won't give you the secret formula and all your goats will die a horrible death, too . . . .

Put powder in pint glass. Add 1 pint IPA and voila!

#1  This will get sympathy for Iran from some people who are desperate for cures for nasty things.

To increase the numbers of maybe-the-crazy-Mullahs-aren't-so-bad-if-they-are-doing-all-this-cool-good-for-humanity-stuff hopefuls, Iran should next announce their mastery of other holy grail issues such as positive results from embrionic stem cell research, a cure for the common cold, controlled health care expenses, and curing, um infidelity.

Of course, if they announce a truly delicious powdered India Pale Ale, I might be tempeted to join the fan club, too!
