Saudi Cleric Bans Snowmen

[n2ize]

Saudi Cleric forbids building snowmen in recent Saudi snowfall. Considers it an abomination to construct anything that represents a form with a "soul", including children building a snowman as part of family fun.... I guess he feels that to be pious one must live an extremely somber and sober life... even little kids,

What a shame. I suppose sand sculptures are out, as well. What a pisser, considering all that sand.

Mosques do not have the human form in any artwork. Geometric imagery is acceptable, as are swords.

I think the rest of the world is ready to issue a fatwah against all fatwahs....

I'm trying to make a Rushdie joke but finding suitably rhyming winter words is tough...

There can be one and only one reason why that "cleric" issued the edict.

He's watched the Frosty the Snowman animated kids Christmas program, and he thought it was a documentary.

That doesnt count, slight representations of penises are ok as long as there is some macho shit thrown in.

“It (building snowmen) is imitating the infidels, it promotes lustiness and eroticism.”
That snow man turns me on! <ooh aah uuh uuh> Somebody hold me back before I rape it! <uuh uuh slobber drool>

“May God preserve the scholars, for they enjoy sharp vision and recognise matters that even Satan does not think about.”
Translation: Scholars are more evil than Satan. God is evil, may God preserve superevil scholars.

I can't say God save us, God is evil. Now what?

Yes, gangstas of the sand.
