The Simpsons' Exported to Arabs -- Minus Bacon, Beer

[RaistlinZ]

"It's just a little air-borne, it's still good, it's still good."


Man, I'm going to miss those episodes. They're taking out half of what makes The Simpsons funny. No Krusty, no Apu, no DuffMan, no references to pork.... hell, I can spot all of those things in one episode!

Hot dogs will become Egyptian beef sausages, and donuts will become popular Arab cookies called "kahk."

Homer (Omar): MMMMMMmmmmmmm. Kahk.

So simpsons but half the funnay and none of the edge (as unedgy as it already was). wow, poor arabs are going to think americans are dull.

"If he doesn't drink and eat bacon and generally act like a pig ? which I guess is also against Islam ? then it's not Homer," Jean said.

I was in Dubai last year and they had the Simpsons on telly. Admittedly it was in English but it contained Beer. In fact I was drinking one while I watched it.
