So, this is a pretty big story -- the public hanging of (somewhere in the vicinity of) 30 people in Tehran for crimes as varied as murder, drug dealing, and avowing a preference for Britney Spears over Madonna. Regardless, I thought I'd take the opportunity to miss the larger issue, and focus on mundane details such as the fact that their count seems to be off by one. Cheers. Oh, by the way, in case you didn't follow the link to the actual story, they use a fucking crane to hang people, presumably to maximize the amount of people who get to see the show.
