A danish by any other name would taste as sweet.

You all remember back in 2003 when France criticized the U.S. led invasion of Iraq and overnight french fries became “freedom fries”? Well, it seems that our enemies over in Iran have followed our lead and done a little renaming of their own in response to the ongoing cartoon flap.

As of last week, danish (the pastry) will no longer be known as “danish.” Instead, Iranians on their way to work (plotting against America) will now have to order a “rose of the Prophet Mohammed” if they want something sweet to go with their morning coffee. The Iranian confectioners union ordered the name change in bakeries across Tehran. Frankly, I think it might actually be more of an insult to the Prophet to name a fattening, jam-filled pastry after him, than it is to portray him in cartoons, but that’s just me.

Silly me, I thought I’d never hear anything dumber than “freedom fries.”
