Censorship Nightmare
UAE censorship has reached a new level. Having bought my copy of Arctic Monkey's new album 'Favourite Worst Nightmare' from the local Virgin megastore, I took it home and unwrapped it from its cellophane wrapper. I put the CD in the stereo and thumbed through the booklet. Most of the inlay is simply "artistic" nonsense, but on the last page I have no idea what is printed, because the Censor had beaten me to it and taken a black permanent marker through the entire page.
I'm actually not bothered by the fact my inlay has been defaced, but I am very curious as to what I am not allowed to see, ie, what is "inconsistent with the religious, cultural, political and moral values of the United Arab Emirates".
If you can solve the puzzle, leave a comment.
