Saudis using cellphones for pr0n | ||||
2007-04-26 | ||||
Pornographic material accounts for nearly 70 percent of messages exchanged through mobile telephones between teenagers in ultra-conservative Muslim Saudi Arabia, a newspaper reported on Wednesday. Misuse of Bluetooth technology by young men and women is increasing, the English-language Arab News said, citing the findings of a recent study.
Bluetooth technology links devices such as mobile phones wirelessly. In a separate study of 1,200 women aged 18 to 25, Rasheed found that 82 percent of them use Bluetooth continuously, Arab News said. The paper said 99 percent believe the device has broken the barrier of social taboo and traditions and about 77 percent admitted they had used it even inside the grand mosque in Mecca, IslamÂ’s holiest shrine.

#15 Actually, FRED has a longer history. Amongst Railroads, a RED is the "Rear End Device" (the blinking red light on the last car of a freight) which essentially replaced cabooses. Unionized, and soon unemployed, train crews called them FREDs. |

#10 Thanks, Alaska Paul. So .com didn't make up YJCMTSU? I thought that was a Rantburg special, like gun sex and pr0n (the word, not the actuality -- I do know that was pre-existing). No worries, anymouse, I'll take answers from anyone, so long as they're correct. |

#8 This could be fun. Step 1 - Identify people we don't like: Wahabbi imams, princelings who gave Osama money, religious police, guys like that. Step 2 - Pr0n-spam their phones. Step 3 - Dime 'em to the religious police. |
