When an Arab satellite TV network, MBC, decided to introduce "The Simpsons" to the Middle East, they knew the family would have to make some fundamental lifestyle changes

"Omar Shamshoon," as he is called on the show, looks like the same Homer Simpson, but he has given up beer and bacon, which are both against Islam, and he no longer hangs out at "seedy bars with bums and lowlifes." In Arabia, Homer's beer is soda, and his hot dogs are barbequed Egyptian beef sausages. And the donut-shaped snacks he gobbles are the traditional Arab cookies called kahk.

homer > omar

let me guess, bart is elbarto?

Bart (now called "Badr")

arabian Simpsons.. that'd be a kahk.

can't wait for the day they start bringing mcdonalds and other crappy foods into iraq.

I love when news sources use forum comments in their articles.

As a side, does anyone know if the simpson dvds have different languages on them? And if there's like umm, different voices saying the things in the foreign language (spanish plz)
