A delicate topic - teenage boys!

[ummzayd]

One particular thing that frustrated me in the past was on a trip to London I visited Edgeware Road, a big Arabic (and therefore Muslim) population is there and its very like being in Luxor to me. However along the road are various phone boxes and in such glass phone boxes are clearly visible business cards of naked women (head to foot) in provocative positions. Hundreds of them sellotaped beside the phone. I said 'why do the Muslims who live here not remove them?' . I still dont know why not and i try to think of all kinds of reasons.

I know this is an old thread but I just wanted to respond because I live in this area, and in fact used to always take cards like this out of phone boxes BUT literally within the hour they are replaced! and once I was waiting for the phone box with my little son and the man inside was putting up cards. when he came out I told him 'I'm not happy that my son has to see that filth' and he became very aggressive and abusive, so much so that I was actually afraid he was going to hit me.

the ppl who put these cards in boxes are paid megabucks believe it or not. it is a very lucrative trade.

em - so that it's not completely off topic I would just say that I it must have been a very upsetting for glo, and if I had been in her shoes I would also have been tempted to tap him on the shoulder and shame him. whether I would actually have done it I don't know.
