It makes all the cuts and chops SKY did to the show seem pretty tame!
My same attitude applies though. They shouldn't bother showing it in that state. |

I suppose characters like Barney and Moe will have to be cut out completely then?
Homer without beer is like..... well, me without beer. | |

Apparently the cut up version hasn't gone down very well with audiences. Well I never  Quote:
But there's no guarantee of success. Many Arab blogs and Internet chat sessions have become consumed with how unfunny "Al Shamshoon" is. "They've ruined it! Oh yes they have, sob. ... Why? Why, why oh why?!!!!" wrote a blogger, "Noors," from Oman.
Some longtime "Simpson" fans who are Arabs are incensed over the Arabized version. "This is just beyond the pale," wrote As'ad AbuKhalil, a professor at California State University, Stanislaus, whose blog, angryarab blogspot, often touches on politics and the media. After viewing a promotional segment of "Al Shamshoon," Prof. AbuKhalil wrote, "It was just painful....The guy who played Homer Simpson was one of the most unfunny people I ever watched. Just drop the project, and air reruns of Tony Danza's show instead."

Did they go ahead with this?
I can't believe it's been ~18 months since this thread - doesn't seem that long ago
