Iran’s poor attempt to censor Charlize Theron

Iranian broadcasters crudely photoshopped conservative clothing onto Charlize Theron during the Oscars so as not to offend viewers.

The country's state-run agency ILNA made a budget effort to try and conceal Theron's exposed arms and chest by photoshopping a black T-shirt style over her dress.

Every time the South African actress moved on stage her poorly drawn garment stayed in place, sometimes covering part of her neck and face.

The digital censor was so bad that after a few camera cuts the broadcaster abandoned the black shirt and instead opted to blur the actress from the neck down.

It is not uncommon for Iranian state television to censor women in this manner.
