Personally I think poking fun at this aspect of other cultures, many of them much older than my own is puerile, childish and utterly reprehensible.
So you can imagine my disappointment when I spotted these two items next to the coffee machine at the ADNOC Service Station in Musaffah. Before you know it, someone will have sent photos like these into Viz or some lad’s mag together with a jejune caption.
Has humanity sunk so low?
