Sex Braggart Gets Prison, 1,000 Lashes

Note to David Letterman: Steer well clear of Saudi Arabia.
A Saudi court on Wednesday sentenced a man who caused uproar by bragging about his sex life on television to five years in prison and 1,000 lashes, according to Ministry of Information officials.
Mazen Abdul Jawad, a 32-year-old airline employee and divorced father of four, spoke openly about his sexual escapades, his love of sex and losing his virginity at age 14. He made the comments on Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation, which aired the interview a few months ago.
Saudi authorities shut down LBC offices in Jeddah and Riyadh after airing the interview on an episode of its popular show “A Thick Red Line.” Abdul Jawad was arrested shortly after the program aired and charged with violating Saudi Arabia’s crime of publicizing vice. (H/T – CNN)
When Jawad gets out of prison, someone needs to tell him the rules of the game. If you are going to brag about your sex life, do it on a blog – under an assumed name. Duh!

1,000 lashes? He will NOT survive…
Oh well, that’s Saudi Arabia for you…

Not sure if they pass them all out at once, but I agree with TexasFred any more than 75 is difficult to survive.

Old NFO – No takers. I would have said the same thing.
TexasFred – Our friends the Saudis . . .
Ingineer66 – Puss-aah can’t hang. I pay good money to get whipped!

Hey Wyatt, my guess is the whipping you are paying for at Candy’s House of Domination is different than the whipping at a Saudi prison.
