I'm just really looking for an excuse to feel morally superior, because basically I'm not dropping my pants in public in any foreign nation whatsoever, and I'm tempted to feel that anyone who does so in Dubai is just asking for trouble in the first place

(I mean, maybe I would, if there were a good reason for it and I were among loads of trusted citizens who were assuring me that it was cool, but definitely not to get with some chick on a beach during a work weekend in Dubai)

Hacking the BBC website would be lolz, but would have to be done by the right person, with the right pranks in mind, otherwise Britain would actually malfunction.
I heard the dude's interview on Radio 5 myself earlier, and without seeming too self-pitying he did remark that in Dubai the locals "drank as much as the ex-pats" and got up to all sorts of Western-style mischief under the passive eye of the law. Trouble is, there's a way of dodging, and I highly doubt that this fella got it right. Nabisco otm, don't drop trou in a 'hardline' state unless you're absolutely sure nobody's watching.

"Maybe I was naive" was a line he used, and a dead giveaway at that. Non-cryptic code for "we were fucking soused, and I got caught with my cock out by someone in no position to turn a blind eye"

Really hate the headline/article format of "CONTROVERSIAL-SOUNDING THING UNCOVERED" where the article then goes on to tell you that the thing is most likely insignificant, but still it "could" be significant.
