Have the UAE censors claimed a scalp??


GoodBai Jason Leavy, the launch editor of Emirates Today in Dubai, has left the paper and returned to England. He gave personal reasons for the departure, having only launched the paper in September last year but there have been suggestions that the real reasons could be around interference in editorial by the group’s chief exec, Abdullatif Al Sayegh. There have been suggestions that the breaking point was in January when the paper did not report a taxi drivers strike. What a difficult task journalists face in the UAE trying to push the boundaries in telling people what is hapenning. Just as with the recent riot among labourers at the Burj Dubai, efforts are constantly made to gag proper, serious and important stories that scratch below the surface and reveal the real Dubai.
kanelli Very sad. Liban I find myself caring so much right now. Dubai Knight
It is. Wish him luck.
Knight Chocoholic Jason did leave because of falling out with Abdullatif, the guy likes to have a strangle hold on everything. Gulf News, 7 Days and Kaleej Times are so much more open in their reporting and get down to the nitty gritty. Sadly Emirates Today is part of the whole ARN/DRN/Dubai Holdings company, government run and will never have the balls it needs to report on decent things in the city. You should read the Insider column in last weeks Time Out, they ripped the p*** out of it, because their front page stories are ridiculous, who cares about premium bonds and the stoke market? But strives, murders, robberies anything which might give Dubai a bad name is over looked or not touched. Only people who want a rose tinted view of the world should read Emirates Today, it's a pathetic paper. Liban Gulf News --> Decent Khaleej Times --> Decent 7 Days --> Its a rag Time Out --> Yeah I find myself wanting to call one when I look at that :) GoodBai Mind Emirates Today has defo won headline of the week for this little offering today:
Gynaecologist dismisses rumours that she is a man

I kid you not! Dubai Knight
Ha!!! Ha!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
How long will it be until we read:
"Freddie Starr ate my camel!"
:shock:
Knight arniegang Chubby Brown Marries a Camel :lol: :lol: sniper420

Chocoholic Sadly Sniper, many papers literally just cut and paste their stories from the international news wires, there's not much actual local reporting going on. That headline just goes to show that Emirates Today don't cover any hard hitting stories to put on their front page. It's edited to hell but this is typical of the guy that runs it - very sad. And I'm pretty sure that if Jason hadn't left, he would have been pushed. Luckily I just say what I want and no-one edits me - hehehe. GoodBai Of course the headline we're all waiting for is:
Choco's Big Fat Greek Wedding
:D :D :D
That was unkind and uncalled for.
:roll: :roll: Liban
Woo Hoo!!! 8) Chocoholic GoodBai, and pigs might fly - hehehe It's OK I don't find that offensive. I'm not the Greek one, nor am I fat! GoodBai Choco, erm, ahem...... the film title doesn't refer to anyone's waist size, merely to the fact that it is a big Greek do with loads of fuss! How could a Miss Dubai Forums be anything other than a superfit stunner with a figure to die for! Grease, grease, grovel, grovel! OK, OK.... I better just put this shovel down now and stop digging....... GAB
Sorry to say the real camel story a few months back was true but unbelievable! :shock: GoodBai I don't like the direction this thread is taking one little bit! :D But, go on Gab, tell all. We're all men, women (and camels) of the world! arniegang yea, i agree tell tell tell Gabs Dubai Knight
I think I know the one to which she refers: Page 3 of the Gulf News! Maybe it should be in the Romance Forum?
How do you paste an image in here? I have it as a .jpg file somewhere...
:shock:
The headline for this post should read:
'New Technology baffles p*ssed old Jedi!"
:oops:
Knight
arniegang DK
if you look in the panel where you type the post, you will see bold, i , underline, quote etc the penultimate one is Img.
you press once before the image name then press a second time after the img name
is at the end
hope this helps GoodBai All right, just answer me this... Was it one hump or two :D arniegang or gang humping even ? :lol: :lol: :lol: Chocoholic Well there was another Bangladeshi man who got caught with a cow. But thankfully they couldn't prove the cow had been molested, so she escaped being slaughtered and is now happy grazing with the rest of the herd. GAB Briefly, some bloke had fallen in love with a camel, and how do I put it......... and was making love to it :shock: ("kneel down baby you are too tall for me?????? :? :shock: mind boggles) Anyway, he got caught and the camel got put down (its meat was tainted)-so the camel got the raw end of the deal. Chocoholic The image of the guy standing on a ladder is quite funny! Yeah poor camel, not as if it's animals fault - boooooo! GoodBai Didn't Camel - the tobacco people - used to do a line in rough shag :lol: arniegang this cant be serious :? :? Dubai Knight
I was also trying to get a handle on where this thread came into the 'Politics, Philosophy and Religion' forum...however a moments reflection brought it home to me:
Politics:-
"Politically, the question of whether the camels rights were 'invaded' is a moot point"
Philosophy:-
"One has to suppose the camel was quite philosophical about the whole affair, right up until the moment the gun went bang"
Religion:-
"Yes, it is confirmed, he was religiously rogering the camel!"
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Knight arniegang i cant disagree with any of that DK so i better leave this thread intact rather than split it and transfer to the new degrading s£xual acts forum :lol: :lol: :lol:
