So we have feminists in an Islamic country getting upset. Seems like they would have had reason to before this.

This sounds a bit like being “unemployed in Greenland.” (”Princess Bride”)

the show "insults and encourages insulting women."...

I would never encourage an insulting woman.

But, hey, that's just me.

this show does not sound like an attack on women in general, or muslim women specifically. it sounds like an attack on idiotic women, stupid women, the kind of women who really deserve to be made fun of in public. just sayin’.

Let’s see, burkas okay.
Covering face, okay.
Staying at home, okay.
No school, okay.
Surgery on their privates, okay.
Being give away like cattle, okay.
Being stoned for being raped, not so bad.

Silly game show, why that’s the worst thing I’ve ever heard.

The very idea. How dare they use women that way...

Just damn.

I think you have to go to our universities for that.

Turn the tables and have a show that asks the man to locate an object in the house.

Barack does. He married her.

Maybe the Turks got the idea from American beauty pageants. Or the old Sally Jesse Raphael show.

parsy, who still marvels at how ignorant that woman was

After how many years of making men look like morons in every commercial and sit-com, it's about time "certain" women (non-conservitive) were exposed!

Signed, a woman (very conservative) I've been filling out the online Zogby poll with the designation of "conservative", going forward, I'm claiming VERY conservative

Sounds similar to “The Newlywed Game”.

I saw that show once (before you ask, I didn’t have positive control of the TV at the time) and the question was: In what compass direction does the sun set at your home? (Or something close to that).

The grooms all got the right answer, but not all of the brides did.

When one guy tried to tell his wife the sun always sets in the West, she said “Not in our neighborhood.”

Or perhaps how to operate a simple device, like a coat hanger.

If it were the Muslim version of the Newlywed Game, the question would go: “When was the first time you made whoopie?” The bride would answer: “That’s easy. It was my ninth birthday. Just like Aisha with Mohammed.”

If you can remember "Caveman Games"

where one of the events was to see who could drag a woman by the hair the farthest distance, you're getting to be a pretty old fart.

amen sister! i personally refuse to watch sitcoms just for that reason. hubbymayhem is a wonderful man. when i first met him he was still married to what my son called “that cranky woman”. i called her many other less polite things. this creature spent half her time making fun of this good man, making jokes at his expense, basically portraying him as a clueless doofus. i hated that even before i loved him. my bro had same thing. these horrible women tried their very best to make two very strong intelligent decent men out to be moronic buffoons who could not function without a female to guide them. I HATE THAT!! this is why i say sit coms suck, and any t.v. show that makes fun of stupid women is okay-fine with me. that said, i do not agree with shows that portray women as bubbleheads who are not capable of getting thru a day without a man’s help. one is just as bad as the other. but truly stupid people of either gender really do deserve whatever public humiliation they get.
