"I stormed the British embassy in Tehran and all they had left was this framed Pulp Fiction poster" ?
At least that guy in Libya got Gaddafi's hat.
So much for the Germanic usurper Elizabeth. She's less popular than Travolta since according to reports, all they did was wave her photo around.
UPDATE
at 1425 UTC
: After I wrote this at 916 AM, the Washington Post made it clear at 924 AM that the ambassador wants his poster back. No playing around here.“There has been a incursion by a significant number of demonstrators into our Embassy premises, including vandalism to our property,” Britain’s foreign ministry said in a statement. “We are outraged by this. It is utterly unacceptable and we condemn it.”
UPDATE at 1915 UTC: In a likely PSYOP to maintain her fragile ego vis a vis Travolta and Jackson, the media now reports the portait was actually stolen as well, not simply brandished.
Protesters inside the embassy grounds were shown live on Iranian state television throwing stones at windows, breaking them, and one was seen climbing the wall with a looted portrait of Britain’s... Elizabeth II. Others threw embassy papers into the air.
