Satan's cell phone cameras

Archive: Absurd Inurbane Witless

Saudi Arabian fundamentalists are just as suspicious as their American kindred. If you can use something, like a cell phone camera, to do something bad then obviously you will. The only option is to prevent everyone from having one.

A wedding in Saudi Arabia ended in a brawl over the photographing of women*, and young men in the glitzy malls of the United Arab Emirates have been warned by police not to surreptitiously photograph female shoppers. In Egypt, a women-only beach on the northern Mediterranean coast bars cameras and all cell phones are checked on entry to make sure they don't have cameras.

Saudi Edict Bans Mobile Phone Cameras

* Not unclothed, simple photographs of women are considered immoral.

That's wild! There are a lot of “bad” things I can do and don't, what about a cell phone camera would compel me otherwise? Gmail

Comments:

Feel free to share your feelings about Satan's cell phone cameras. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted.

This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.

My thanks,
Richard
