#11 "Fox added he'd bring the matter to the attention of Comedy Central's legal department for its opinion about the airline's use of similar characters to market itself."

Screw that. Don't get mad, get even: hijack these Air Arabia characters right back, and incorporate them into South Park episodes ridiculing Arabs. There's LOADS of comedy material there, all up for grabs.

#16 One of my relatives has a satellite dish with a suscription to various foreign channels, including Gulf ones... AND THERE IS AN ARAB VERSION OF SOUTH PARK, complete with "middle easternized" characters (don't know how they did for Kyle, who's indeed a jew), wearing ad hoc head gear, speaking arab, etc, etc, the total makeover.

I'm serious! I didn't dream it, and I wasn't under the influence (it was afternoon). Ok, I only saw 3-5 mn, could have been something else than a running cartoon serie, a one-shot parody, but the arabized South Park was a reality back then in 2003 IIRC.

Don't know if it's pirate, don't know the name, don't know anything about it, except that it DOES exist... perhaps theses ads feature theses arabic version.

Note that the Simpsons too have been adapted to the ME, as the shows aired there are not only dubbed, but also "arranged" and edited/redirected to suit "local susceptibilities".

Any cartoon connaisseur here, or perhaps someone good at searching for random bits of pointless information on the web???
