Waterloo - Day 39 - Homer Becomes Omar

I wasn't going to blog today coz of 2 reasons.

Tomorrow I have a midterm and an assignment due. It's 5:11 already and I have just finished study and going to get on with the assignment.

The 2nd reason is, I want to leave the last post longer on the top, and perhaps even give it a little modification. I wasn't so satisfied with how I've represent my thoughts...

Well, but ... anyways ...

There's something I find very interesting and just wanted to put it up here.

It starts with a news on Slashdot.

Homer Becomes Omar

"With Omar as Homer, and Badr substituted for Bart, The Simpsons is now playing on Arab television. But in order not to risk offending an Arab audience, the characters in Al Shamshoon, as the show is now called, have modified some of their most distinguishable traits." And you thought internationalization was hard for software!


The news is posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday October 20, @04:08PM.

Well, that's no surprise. Even at 21st century, people still don't openly accept other people's opinion, like 5000 years ago.

Take myself, for example, I just can't accept the opinion that sunny day is considered as a "good weather". With the broken ozone layer, sunny day is becoming more and more dangerous for all mankind. A "good weather" is a cloudy one with little sunshine breaks.

.......

Alrite... going to take a shower and probably a nap now.

If we're still together, tmr is the 89th. I'm beyond hopeless.
