I loved this part:



<< But there is no shortage of viewers. In one guesthouse a group of bearded Afghan men sit glued to the screen, one of them frantically stabbing at the remote control to change the channel when a female Western aid worker walks into the room. >>



Quick, Mohammed, change it! That white woman is coming back!!

he he, that's funny! Porn always have been one of the most profitable businesses in the world. How do you think streaming video made its way to the Internet? Why all the GIF and JPEG formats became so popular? And the best part, there is no need to be super educated or know different language to understand the idea of what's shown. Simply amazing....

<< He sells six-foot dishes for about $100 and eight-foot dishes with a digital receiver for about $250, importing the equipment from Pakistan. "I've been in business a month, and I have sold nearly 400 dishes," Wasi said. "My shop is always busy. Everybody wants to watch satellite television." >>

This is really troubling. He sold 400 dishes in a month? His average price for a dish/receiver is $200, so that makes $80,000USD?! Anyone wanna tell me where Afghans are getting all this cash? I mean, most families in USA are still using cable, and satellite equipment costs even cheaper here.

So in the mid-1900's everyone in the US was worried about the spread of communism.

I wonder if everyone over there is worried about the spread of porn? :p

<< I thought the internet was banned in Afghanistan? >>



Metaphor, this has to be a troll.. or did you somehow crawl under a rock for the last 4 months and NOT realize that the Taliban were the ones who banned the internet in Afghanistan? Do the expressions "9-11" and "Operation Enduring Freedom" mean anything to you?

The Afghan people are now free of the Taliban, and one of the freedoms they're now exposed to is that of outside cultural influence. It's a good thing... even if it doesn't look like it at first.
