Media Piranha - October 2009

Strict Sharia Laws in Saudi Arabia

October 25th 2009 18:09
Saudi Arabia has a strict Sharia Law that adheres to Islamic beliefs and teachings. Some TV shows have become so Westernized that the moral police is working overtime. A controversial Arab show can have consequences for a man who brags about his sex life. The female journalist may also be punished for her involvement, if any. She has been sentenced to 60 lashes.

I've written about it in the past, and this is yet another double-standard on the part of our 'ally' Saudi Arabia. Especially when it comes to women's rights. It is obvious that a woman will never have rights in Saudi Arabia home of Mecca. Although many Arab and Islamic believers declare equality of the sexes, most still adhere to the belief of women being inferior.

The Celebrity Burglaries

October 25th 2009 16:03
Since hearing that a couple of guys were busted in a string of celebrity burglaries, it has surfaced that the crimes were carried out by a teen gang. The gang was composed of a celebrity-obsessed group of rich reform-school girls. Some of their famous burglaries include Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan to name a couple. Paris made it easy by leaving her door open.

One of the gang members is the sister of Playboy model, Tess Taylor. Since they are involved in another Reality Show that caters to the brainless no-lives, cameras followed as sis bailed out her sibling gang member.

Somali Quiz Prizes

October 18th 2009 15:08
If Somali extremists organized a quiz about the Koran and geography, what would be the prizes given to the winners and runner-ups?

Weapons, ammunition and computers were the prizes given by Al-Shabab to the winners! The quiz was aimed at stopping young men from wasting their time and defend the territory. In other words, they want to stir the hornets' nest that was wondering away from the cause or holy war

A hardline insurgent group associated with al-Qaeda wants to impose a strict interpretation of Sharia law in Somalia. Al Shabaab has sent gunman to round-up women with firm breasts. This isn't a beauty contest, because women wearing bras will be whipped.

The group also banned movies, ringtones, dancing at weddings and watching or playing soccer

VeggieTales XXX

October 10th 2009 14:19
The children's TV show, Veggie Tales, is putting out a cookie cutter that was not thought through too well. It features Bob and Larry as the side-by-side impressions. The cookie may not be appropriate for children!

In my opinion, the company knew damn well what it was doing. The publicity will make more people take notice and give free advertisement of the product. The controversy will now make it a collector's item that may fetch a good price on eBay!

Like A Virgin

October 7th 2009 18:20
There is actually a fake hymen that fool future rubes into believing that their significant other is a virgin. The Artificial Virginity Hymen kit, comes from China and is distributed in many parts of the world. It is meant to make the future husband believe that his wife is pure as the driven snow!

Seems that this may be a problem in the Muslim world where virgins are expected and marriages are arranged. These kits are banned and are punishable crimes.
