The opening credits play.
The next day we find ourselves looking in on a meeting with all the top brass (the Council of Senior Islamic Scholars), which is already in progress when we get there.
Learned Scholar 1: I ..... hear ..... that pretending to be gay .... can be quite effective.
An un-easy murmuring flows through the room....
Learned Scholar 2 (shrugging): Perhaps .... but actually being gay is already illegal, so...
The murmuring is replaced by a mixture of "ah"s and nods of agreement. There is now a long protracted silence broken only by the occasional cough and the sound accompanying the scratching of a learned chin. Eventually, our attention is drawn to a weaselly-looking scholar in one corner of the room who stares into the table as he speaks.
Weaselly Scholar 3: Well..... A .... friend of mine ..... informs me that walking a dog is how the "hip cats" do it....A thoughtful silence overtakes the room.
The next shot is of a news headline.

Anyways ........ switching the channel, we catch an exciting arrest in an episode of the Saudi Arabian version of Cops:
1Yeah .... there's only so much research I'm willing to do here......

You really have to feel for those cats, too....

This was the best line in the blog entry.
Possibly I should've written the whole thing in such a manner.
I think the above linked video of a vice police arrest is the really funny bit, actually. Should have put it in the main post ..... ah, well.
P.S. you should see Bad Santa if you haven't already done so....
Ah, fuck it. I keep forgetting I can EDIT.....
