Another gem from Donkeyrock:

"... And we'll see what she thinks of the giant stinker I just left for her!"

Li'l Mahmoud visits the library like a big boy:

"But I'm too shy to talk to the librarian..."

(This is actually the annual Tehran International Book Fair, which is notorious for its "educational" fare.)

Here's one that's ripe with potential:

"Yes, is me."

Do you have any other ideas of what Mahmoud could be looking at so intently?

Passing the buck, Jihadi-style:

Heard from both gentlemen: "No, but you can dance with him..."

Heh, here's what the Three Stooges would look like if they were filmed in Tehran, thanks to FReeper reagan_fanatic:

The Beatles have announced that they are ready to release their first new album with an unexpected all-star lineup:

"East Meets West... and then nukes it"

Alright, probably not the most capable Photoshop ever, but hey, it was fun trying. Here's the inspiration for this one, in case you're wondering.

Oh, and that's probably the worst pun of a title possible. Maybe I should've stuck with "Shabby Road" instead?

Your ideas, please. Mahmoud insists.

This is the first time I've ever taken to pre-photoshopping a pic in this new Daily Dictator series, but hopefully it will be worth it for the two or three of you who get the joke:

Mahmoud waits for further instructions from the Hidden Imam.

If you don't get it, or want to add your own suggestion of what you think Mahmoud is so inspired by, feel free to yoink my PSD file—or if you don't like starting from there, you can grab the original ISNA picture here. Just be sure to share your Photoshop creations with us when you've got 'em!
