Homer Becomes Omar
geekster writes "With Omar as Homer, and Badr substituted for Bart, The Simpsons is now playing on Arab television.
But in order not to risk offending an Arab audience, the characters in Al Shamshoon, as the show is now called, have modified some of their most distinguishable traits." And you thought internationalization was hard for software!
In America, television is emasculated to suit the whims of puritanical christians and crazy neocons.
Or were you extremely sarcastic?

>>Can anyone give an Arabic translation of this? the English equivalent would be something like "Oh my fucking god" only a little less vulgar.
Oh my fucking Allah?

guess those are the people who internally translate everything like "arab" or "islamic" into "raghead". those people scare me as much as suicide bombers.
(good bye, sweet karma)

Karma: It's all a bunch of tree-huggin' hippy crap!
Television is hardly "emasculated" to conservative whims. Hello? Hollywood is the most liberal place in America.
Since when have shows like South Park ever catered to the whims of "puritanical christians?" This is just more lame, trendy conservative-bashing. It's the new trend of the left to preach tolerance all the time and yet be intolerant of religion and of opposing viewpoint. Jeez, just seeing a conservative opinion on TV aired without contempt makes these people think it's a Bush conspiracy. But anti-conservative stuff (aka The Daily Show) is a-okay.

You forgot the other term: "sand nigger".
