Cancel the arabic simpsons
On the second day of ramadan i watched the arabic version of the brilliant show "The Simpsons", which is now called "Al Shamshoon" (which is stupid, cause Shamshoon is the arabic name for Samson, but whatever), and was immedietly depressed. The show dubbing in arabic sucks, because the writers have failed to emulate the double- layerd dialopgue that makes the simpsons such a good show. The simpsons appeal has always been its ability to pose both as a silly cartoon and a serioulsy witty socio-political commentary. The arabic dubbed version failed to grasp or understand the second aspect of the show, so they stuck to the first, which is the silly cartoon aspect, and even failed miserably at that. They managed to make one of the funniest shows ever into something that is terribly unfunny, and one of the smartest shows around into something incredibly dumb. While Homer Simpson was the archetypical model for the lowest common denominator man, the guy who wants to do nothing but eat, drink beer at home or at Moe's Tavern, watch TV in his underwear while scratching himself and making morally ambigious choices, Omar Shamshoon is just stupid , and you can't even blame his laziness on his beer drinking, because Omar is a muslim, so he drinks soda instead of beer. Yeah. Sucky. Cancel the arabic simpsons MBC. Please. Us Simpson lovers can't take this abomination any longer.

Oh my God. It's magdee. Ya Magdeeee. where have you been ya ragel? wallahy I missed you.
In the middle-east it does cindy. I was surprised too.
Wow, if that's what my media gave me, I'd want to blow myself up too.
i thinks it crazy how they couldnt create their on cartoon that was funny...that would probaly be very diffuvult for mbc...i was watching a kids cartoon and the kds didnt blink for some odd reason?
hey you cant even speak english so shut the f*ck up.
If they wanted to make a version that would preserve its character and be made especially for Arabic language and situations, it would be revolutionary for Arab culture. Too many people would rather not go that route even though it's exactly what the Arab world needs more of.
man dont cancel the arabic simpons just watch the version in english because its unfair that arabic children cant enjoy it like we do in america so just keep it and all u that wanna cancel it are haters.
