Shoura Council Rejects Proposal for Morality Police Uniforms
2006-07-04
The Shoura Council rejected a proposal yesterday that would have required the Commission for Promoting Virtue and Preventing Vice, also known as the religious police, to wear some kind of uniform. The members of the consultative body turned the proposal down 63-52 following debate. The head of the Shoura said the decision on the matter was nonreversible. Supporters of the proposal said that a uniform would help prevent impersonators to act as morality officers while other members argued that the current system, where officials of the commission are supposed to wear badges, is sufficient.

#7  Now for real marketing, I consider sour cream to be pure genius

LOL - I'd just as soon these assholes wore a uniform, so the fed-up Saudis would know who to grab abd beat the sh*t out of. The fact they're afraid to shows they know how unpopular they are...

#6  I think they should wear Big Red Noses... to match the henna in their beards. These clowns are real fireballs when it comes to preventing young girls from escaping burning buildings without a veil or dragging old ladies off to jail who happen to find themselves alone in a shop with only the male proprietor present. Inspiring.

Otherwise, I think that Islam is organized and designed rather well if all that matters is replication and spreading the infection. Now The Hotel California bit - that's a real killer. But it's brutish and crude, not at all clever.

Now for real marketing, I consider sour cream to be pure genius.

#3  The drooling and the smell should be identifier enough, one would think.

#2  Uniforms pinpoint targets, too cowardly to wear a plain identifyer like a Uniform.

#1  I think they ought to wear a dunce cap, at the least. How about a 50 lb. jock strap to go with it, just to make sure they mind their manners.
