The idea was that in this radio program, Paradox, I would have an opportunity to have a few minutes that are more 'personal' for myself and during these few minutes, I would try to talk about my daily life as a program maker, comedian, media personality, or clown—whatever you want to call it! The weeks when I can use this opportunity to talk about human issues that are important to me really make me happy, and even though I never listen to my own program and dislike my own voice and appearance, I sit down and listen to the program again! This idea, however, has been going to waste for several weeks! Because a series of events happening in the country forces me, due to time constraints, not to include this favorite part of mine in the program. This week is one of those weeks. What happened? Mr. Khamenei went to Azadi Stadium and, as he put it, started a street wrestling event and said, 'The camel dreams of cotton seeds!' Since I know he listens to this program and generally enjoys sitting down to the so-called 'enemy' media, I must share a few points in this program and invite you to listen to the story of the camel! By the way, we are our own theater! Such street and stadium performances are our specialty. If he thinks that with these shows he can 'fool the kids,' I must say that the camel no longer dreams of cotton seeds! Because there is no cotton left to nibble on! All the cotton has been hoarded! Then they sell it at a higher price and instead of nibbling on it one by one, they eat it 'billions at a time' and then go to Canada to enjoy! Also, on a side note: isn't 'camel' an insult? Isn't it ugly to call someone 'camel'? For example, to say: 'Oh... camel!' Isn't that a bit rude? Isn't it a bit ugly for the head of the country? To turn back to someone else and call them camel! I think it's ugly for you! The logical conclusion from Mr. Khamenei's speech at Azadi Stadium is that: Azadi Stadium is a place for an artist like 'Ebi,' not him! Kambez Hosseini is a producer of radio and television programs, including Parazit, as well as Politic and Paradox on Radio Farda.
