Please block pr0n - now that I've seen it!

But what a perfect excuse for looking at pr0n or any other forbidden topic - "I was only researching offensive sites so that I could aks the government to block them!".

Reminds me of dear old Mary Whitehouse and the "Campaign for Light" in the UK - I seem to recall they saw lots of "disgusting" films and then insisted that they weren't suitable for the rest of us to see.

If the camel once get his nose in a tent...

Say: "Hal tashraba al-shaay?"
The camel's body will soon fall low.


An untold number of camel 
beheadings occur daily in the kingdom.
These are just the sort of hijabs to avoid inflaming the men’s passions.

If you speak the truth, keep a foot in the camel's stirrup; not the camel's mouth.

You can put lipstick on a camel, but it is still not a pitbull, or a pig, or a republican.

The black Majaheem, the white Maghateer, the dark brown Shi’l and the beige with black Sufur, all camels, is better to have on spit, than for you to have spit on camels. Better is it to have a camel tow you, than for you to have a camel toe. Better the Bedouin you know than a bed you in you don't.
Better a trifle bazaar than a trifle bizarre. Make hayy before the qawm.
Better to shake it off, than to off with a sheikh. The most beautiful camels have filters and are made with the finest Turkish tobacco. 

Most of Saudi citizens are quite armless, and not the sort to engage in finger pointing.

Reflection

One might point out at this point that youtube also gets tons and tons of happy voluntary reports of shocking things, things like imagery of 2 women kissing which MUST be hidden at all cost, or god forbid, a nipple :O
And then there's the countless students in the west, who are all very busy with developing new censorship technology and volunteering testing it to make sure it's as bad as everybody hopes, everybody in your local government that is.
So no, it doesn't completely surprise me that the nutty saudi are equally mad.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
