    Saudi Cleric Bans Snowmen

    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.

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

    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.
