death of "down with america" slogan in iran

Time's Azadeh Moaveni: "Victoria's Secret Tehran [which is a fake franchise, but the goods are authentic] is just the raciest manifestation of the growing popularity of American products in Iran. While elsewhere in the Middle East consumers are boycotting American goods to protest U.S. foreign policy, Iranians can't get enough of them. Coca-Cola's exports to Iran have increased nearly threefold this year. Toy stores are struggling to keep up with the growing demand for Barbie dolls." Posted by hoder at November 10, 2002 2:04 PM
