Last week I visited Dubai for a few days - and I confess, it was a relief to be out of Africa and to have running water - and literally the first thing I saw when I switched on the television was (drumroll, please)... Seinfeld!
Yup, contrary to the assertions made on Bill Maher's show [see my blog post dated 10 July 2007], Seinfeld is popular in the Arab world. Speaking to a few Arabs from countries other than the UAE reveals that Seinfeld is popular in syndication in Egypt, Lebanon, and even terrorist-0riented Syria.
So it seems, Bill, that even evildoers who obsess over obliterating Israel are fond of following the exploits of "a few neurotic New York Jews", (the words of Jason Alexander, who played George Costanza on the show).
