Why The Simpsons flopped in the Middle East


fayz I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the article below. I was really looking forward to seeing this before it disappeared, did anyone see Al Shamshoon? what did you think? http://www.cbc.ca/arts/tv/dubai.html
dave101 i never watched it, but as an avid simpsons fan, its pretty obvious that the show wouldnt cross the cultural borders in a dedicated show. and why would you ever think that arabs would find this funny, not just as its american, but it seems they have a hard time finding anything 'western' funny! have you seen arab tv? whoa, i will say no more! gtmash I'd say only this dubbed version flopped. Those who understand English scrounge for downloaded episodes. The voice-acting seems pretty bad in the Arabic one too.
