what WERE the Iranians thinking of?

[hatwoman]

ok so apparently they were polyester but at least the blokes looked kind of ok from a distance. but what was that outfit they gave Faye wotsername all about? Ahmedinajad's hardly a fashionista but he seems to have come quite some way (haven't seen a snazzy jumper for a while...)

It was very odd wasn't it? Was the colour significant, I wonder? It wasn't chosen to be flattering, was it?!

i was going to say a win/win PR coup of massive proportions...but then realised that it wasn't a political thread

Dunno, do you think orange jumpsuits would have been better??? I have no idea what kind of material they use for those as have no loved ones in that particular prison (thank God).
