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!

Dear God, I just don't understand why you Americans put up with all that censoring - I can't speak for the rest of Europe, but here in Denmark it simply doesn't exist. The public (as in owned but not directly controlled by the state) channels use "faul" language all the time, show complete nudity, etc. We just don't see it as a problem!
