Saudi telecom stops text vote for Arab talent show
December 27th, 2005 by Quan Tranh
Common sense has evaded the middle east again. Apparently sending text messages with your phone can be immoral depending on what you do with your text messages. For some reason the religious nutjobs have issued a fatwa that a Lebanese reality show is immoral and using your phone to vote on the show happenings is unislamic. I never realized it was possible to do something that would make you hellbound with your phone. But in order to save the souls of immoral muslims everywhere Mobily along with Saudi Telecom have decided to block text messages from reaching the show’s producers. I guess that will teach those young people! Now they’ll have to sit down at a computer and vote. Think of all the money that these telecoms are losing because of a few Wahhabi fundamentalists who think everything is evil.
