South Park vs. New World Craziness vs. Kuwaiti comedy!

2006-03-18T21:51:00.000+03:00

You gotta love Matt Stone and Trey Parker! No matter how much u may dislike their work, you have to admit that they are pioneers and innovative! Other than the excellent South Park, which does get boring sometimes, they created two of the funniest filme ive seen, the shocking South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut, and Team America: World Police. Basically, they insult everyone and anyone in their

Obviously, today was a very bad day for stock markets all around the region! Our market went down 3.7%, Saudi 4.6% in the opening 2 mins, Qatar down 3.3%, Egypt down 4.9%, and Dubai a whopping 11.7% in one day!!! Billions have been lost. Many investors, most of whom are small investors, are suffering and losing alot at the moment! The downfall is not a small one by any measure, for example,

Sa7at AlSafat has proved itself to been the best Kuwaiti source of news and views on the internet, and the news is not limited to local news, but they go beyond that to cover regional and global issues that affect us in some way or another. One topic that I specifically find very interesting is the recent reforms in Saudi Arabia since King Abdullla took charge. The guys at sa7at alsafat

Danish Boycott .... part II

2006-02-04T19:16:00.000+03:00

Ok everyone, let me make this clear again, I respect people's choice to take action against something and boycotting is their persoal choice and I commend someone for taking a stand even though I dont agree with their reasoning but at least there is some sort of passion towards something whatever it is... HOWEVER....it is depressing to see all this energy on an issue like this and not on more

Has anyone else noticed a significant increase recently in the number of men begging or walking the inner streets of residential areas and stopping to check each garbage bin? These same men, mostly Indians or from that region I think, are usually standing at traffic lights looking at the people in cars hoping someone would give them some spare change! Almost all these people wear a red chmaaq

On the first day of my first marketing class back in college, the professor asked us a simple question .... "what are the 3 most important factors in a success of a business?"

It took us another 10 mins or so then someone else said "

While driving home today, my radio was tuned to 99.7FM, and I think it was Dr. Labouche or whatever her name is speaking. She was talking about Madonna and her career, and while mentioning her previous albums, she said something about a song that came from her 1985 album, and I quote: "Like a .... you know what"! She said something about not being able to say the word!! Hold on a second here,

Usually its just 2 or 3 ppl at a time working there, and during the daytime its even 1 or 2 ppl if ur lucky! Today, there were 7 of them!

That got me in the mood for some old fashioned Kuwaiti comedy, back in the day when tv and the theater were very funny and more importantly, very
