Iranian music streaming site Melovaz has recently come under fire for doing something, uh, strange - they've erased all female music artists from album art on their site while leaving their male counterparts untouched. The double standards here are likely due to Iran's strict rules about Muslim women not being seen uncovered, which Melovaz apparently has also extended to non-Muslim women in the media. 

The following are some examples of such that will probably make you laugh and then immediately feel sad for humanity.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani stoked our President's ire on Sunday after warning our country not to "play with the lion's tail"or we would regret it. Rouhani added that "Peace with Iran is the mother of all peace, and war with Iran is the mother of all wars." These threatening words did not sit well with President Trump, who took to Twitter with the following impassioned response: 

"To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!"

The tweet's aggressive style, while possibly warranted after Rouhani's foreboding speech, was eaten up by Twitter personalities and quickly became a Twitter meme. It's proven to be the perfect vehicle for popular copypastas, such as Rick Rolls and the famous Liam Neeson Taken speech. World War III may be on the horizon, but at least we've got something to laugh about. Right? Right guys??
