Music on buses "vulgar": Taliban
2009-01-22
Bus drivers in northwest Pakistan have begun removing audio and video equipment from their vehicles after Taliban militants threatened suicide attacks against those who played music or movies for their passengers, said an industry official on Tuesday.
Seems a pretty minor matter to go blowing yourself up over, doesn't it?
Transport workers in Mardan town received letters this week from militants saying buses offering such entertainment were guilty of spreading "vulgarity and obscenity," a union official said.

#8  I think he has a point here! Comes at it from a different perspective than mine, though.

Certainly not as vulgar as the priceless music at the gas pumps. You want vulgar, now that's the epitome.

#5  Taliban Motors could probably get some auto market share except for the lack of audio equipment, the square stone wheels, and the need for their vehicles to suddenly turn toward Mecca five times a day.
