rickjump1 0 #1 October 8, 2009 Isn't this a little excessive? ..... (CNN) -- A Saudi court on Wednesday sentenced a man who caused uproar by bragging about his sex life on television to five years in prison and 1,000 lashes, according to Ministry of Information officials. Mazen Abdul Jawad talked openly about his sex life on the controversial show. Mazen Abdul Jawad, a 32-year-old airline employee and divorced father of four, spoke openly about his sexual escapades, his love of sex and losing his virginity at age 14. He made the comments on Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation, which aired the interview a few months ago. Saudi authorities shut down LBC offices in Jeddah and Riyadh after airing the interview on an episode of its popular show "A Thick Red Line." Jawad was arrested shortly after the program aired and charged with violating Saudi Arabia's crime of publicizing vice. On the program, Jawad is also shown in his bedroom, where he holds sexual aids up to the camera. The room is decorated with Mickey Mouse and stuffed bears in sexually suggestive positions. The cameras gave audiences a glimpse of the room's nightclub-like chandeliers mixed with seafood-shaped wall sconces, perfume bottles and a book in Arabic, "101 Questions About Sex," that Jawad calls his "reference." Jawad, wearing a red shirt, explained that he put his phone number and details about his car -- a red Mini Cooper -- on his mobile phone's Bluetooth. He says women usually call him to ask if the car is for sale but, he boasts, "some go out with me that same night." The episode ended with him cruising the streets of Jeddah in his car looking for women. The show that aired Jawad's story is as popular as it is controversialDo your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See, for example, The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne. There are plenty of things about our Western culture that other cultures find outrageous or ridiculous. It's all a matter of perspective.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. (Que the black girls) "Don't do it"! I wonder ,rickjump 1, if you consider it excessive when one of our courts here in the great ol' USA convicts someone of holding just a bit more than an ounce of marijuana and then sentences them to 5 years in the state prison on the felony distribution charge?

Blues, Cliff If it were really just a "bit more" than an ounce for personal use, I would say it was excessive. Getting into pounds or kilos would make me think otherwise. Of course, this is my own opinion. I would guess a drug charge in Saudi could bring you the death penalty if it were a "bit more".Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
