Iran censors cleavage during FIFA draft broadcast

HuffPo Quebec reports that Iran cut the live broadcast of the FIFA  Final Draw because of cleavage.

Fernanda Lima, a stunning Brazilian actress, co-hosted the event in  a low cut dress that was too much for the Iranian censors to handle.

From all reports, the beauty stole the show as fans were suddenly more interested in Lima than in the announcements.

Iranian coverage - which is on a delay just in case a beautiful girl or an israeli flag might pop up - was suddenly cut off, going back to a studio of Iranian sportscasters. One of them apologized, saying "Our friends in the technical department do everything in their power to disseminate what is possible, depending on, you know, certain requirements."

Hundreds of Iranians quickly figured out what happened, and went to Lima's Facebook page to apologize.

Globoesporte reports that in Iran, women are not allowed to attend football matches.
