the simpsons arrive to arab television

interesting piece for simpsons fans in the independent.co.uk about how the simpsons had to be altered to fit onto arab tv. quite a few changes in fact, from their names (homer is now omar) to their diets (soft drinks instead of duff) to their vocations (moe no longer owns a bar). one viewer isn't so happy, a professor at cal state stanislaus who runs the website angryarab.blogspot.com... personally, i'll pay $20 for a subtitled copy to the first person that can get me one.
