Kuwait: THE SUPER CENSOR!

A few things:

“Free from pig products and its derivatives.” (in BOLD lettering). This is what is written above the nutritional label on my Kellogg’s Cornflakes. I spotted it while checking out the iron content of my breakfast. Not sure about you, but I would have assumed this piece of print was a waste of ink!

Western magazines are available for purchase all over the place! The problem? A) THE PRICETAG and B) THE “BLEEPING” OUT. The latter problem refers to the manually-operated, black marker that is used to remove any signs of cleavage, bathing suit bodies, alcohol, and pork that “pollute” the pages inside. Optimistically, it protects the image of those stars who have been emotionally eating.

MTV Arabia has been airing non-stop episodes of The Hills. Of course, I have embraced the opportunity to re-watch season three and laughed out loud when Lauren went to get another glass of “BLEEEEEEEEEEEEP” at the bar. On her way to get a glass of “BLEEEEEEEEEEEP”, she said hello to friends with BLURRED chests and upper bodies. When finally reaching the bar, she selected a “BLEEEEEEEEEEP” from an entire shelving unit of “BLURRRRRRRRRRRR”. Haha, life sure is interesting in this place!
