#2 I think Yousef just moved himself up on the fundo Hit Parade? It would be funnny to see them trying to swim in burquas.

#3 I read the BBC version of this story yesterday. It was a bit tongue-in-cheek and made me chuckle thinking about how the fundo/traditional quarters in Egypt would react. Come on, Islam on Line, can't you take it a little easy? Lighten up. Also, all those "artists and intellectuals" in Egypt who are against this project because it wouldn't respect their "traditions" and "national identity" Jeez, didn't they forget the term "moral values"?

Hey assholes, we've had enough bombing and killing in the last 8 days to last a lifetime, and you're bitching about a TV show where a little fun and double entendres will reign.

Also the BBC article said Mansour will be looking for Syrian and Lebanese women for the roles. I'm sure they'll be heathen Christians who won't mind wearing a swimsuit. Mansour won't ruin the honor of Egyptian women. Say, in fact "artists and intellectuals", why don't you get off your asses and prevent female genital mutilation in your country, something that is done to 90% of Egyptian women, rather than babble about a film project because your womens' virginity is more important than life itself. (See honor killings, Jordan/Paleostine)

Sorry about the length, fellow readers, but I lived in Egypt from '92-96 and worked at a public university. "Intellecutals" and Egyptian can go together, but there are plenty of phony Ph.D.'s who owe their doctorates to friends, it's unbelievable. These dudes are just so touchy about any perceived insults that really aren't insults, but they'd rather spend their time blowing hot air on subjects like Baywatch Egypt just to "protect" their "dignity" and "honor".

#4 Ah, but everyone forgets.
Those "...hot, little sphinx" all need a shave - under arms, legs and top lip.

You ain't lived 'til you've seen a woman in nylons who needed a shave, or when she raises her arm. Shades of post-war Europe. Wonder how that will play on the tube.

#5 What was the name of this "protocol"-based serial already, "Riders without horses", or something like that? And now "Baywatch"? I'm so confused, now.
