Oppression Cakes
I'm surprised that someone didn't tell them how much of a groaner "Freedom Fries" was when it was tried out as the patriotic replacement for french fries.
Iran renames Danish pastries
In Zartosht street in central Tehran, cake shop owner Mahdi Pedari didn't cover up the words "Danish pastries" on his menu, but put the new name next to it.
"I did so just to inform my customers that Rose of Mohammad is the new name for Danish pastries," he said.
Some customers took immediately to the new name. But others asked for "roses of Muhammad" — "gul-e-muhammadi" in Farsi — with a laugh or even with sarcasm, apparently unenthused about the new form of protest.

Obviously, political thought/word-police enforcements sound just as stupid in Farsi as they do in English...
Of course, it goes without saying that I'm insulting the concept and not the Prophet, but it's safer in these cartoon fatwa times to be ever so precise and state it blatantly up front...
Rose of Mahammad sounds nice, actually, but wouldn't it make sense to use it for something else like, oh, I don't know... A FLOWER??
