A video scandal has hit the Iranian Internet scene. Like many online scandals in the West, it involves a model. Not Paris Hilton, but a supposed model of virtue: a cleric. In the video—for weeks voted the top story on Balatarin.com (an Iranian version of Digg.com)—a robed cleric is caught on a hidden camera in a private room. He walks to the door to let a chador-clad woman enter.
“Nobody saw you come in, did they?” he asks her lightheartedly. As she removes her chador, he continues in the same tone: “Want to do some Nasnas?”
The cleric was apparently a member of the government-run Friday Prayers Committee in Hamadan province...their reports did acknowledge that the man involved was a married cleric, and that the video depicts the consummation of an unlawful affair.

One young Iranian commented,
One thing we had never seen before was a cleric’s naked butt. Thanks to the Internet, that is no longer impossible!
