Iran president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says media sensation and front-cover star Paul the octopus – as if he needs an introduction – spreads "western propaganda and superstition", according to the Daily Mail. He said that Paul represents decadence and decay among Iran's enemies. "Those who believe in this type of thing cannot be leaders of the global nations that aspire, like Iran, to human perfection." Paul was unavailable for comment.
