I dont know if you seen this one yet

The arabs dont think it funny

The United Arab Emirates have blocked an Israeli cartoon on the video sharing website YouTube due to content that mocks Muslims and insults the Uae, as reported today by Al Arabiya website. The controversial cartoon, called Ahmed and Salim, is a set of satirical skits that center on the title characters who are more interested in Western pop culture than their father's aspirations of having them die as martyrs by carrying out terrorist attacks on 'filthy Jews or Americans,' which the boys continue to fail at. The UAE's Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) said the decision to block the animated movie came after the organization received several complaints about the content that was deemed to be extremely insulting to Islam. "We informed the two UAE internet service providers Etisalat and Du of the decision and they blocked the movie," a TRA spokesman told AlArabiya.net. "Now users who try to see it will get an 'access denied' message."
