I saw this on the Fox Report tonight, then found these sites. The Simpsons is soon to debut in Arab countries via satellite network MBC. There will be a few changes, however:
- Homer will be called Omar
- He won’t drink beer
- He won’t eat bacon or hot dogs
- He won’t go to Moe’s bar
- The show will be called Al-Shamshoons
Other sites with information on this:
albawaba.com
subzeroblue.com
I’m all for as many people as possible around the world to derive as much enjoyment from the Simpsons as we have here in America for so long. I’m just not so sure how well some of the themes will translate. Hopefully they can pull it off.
That concept is hilarious. Are you sure that wasn’t a gag report? Maybe this is the next skit on SNL.
