RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Authorities have closed an office of an Arab TV station after it broadcast an interview with a Saudi man speaking frankly about sex and showed off erotic toys, a Saudi official said Sunday.

Abdul-Rahman al-Hazza, the spokesman of the Ministry of Culture and Information, told The Associated Press that the office of LBC, a Lebanese-based satellite TV station, in the western city of Jiddah was closed because of the program and because it is unlicensed.

"The closure is indefinite," al-Hazza said.

The Saudi man, Mazen Abdul-Jawad, has been in detention since last Friday. Abdul-Jawad, a 32-year-old Saudi Airlines employee, has begged forgiveness from Saudi society for appearing on LBC's "Bold Red Line" program, in which he appeared to be talking about his sexual exploits.

When Saudi businessmen come to the States, the first place they head to is the Strip Club.

More than 200 people have filed legal complaints against Mazen Abdul-Jawad, dubbed a "sex braggart" by the media, and many Saudis say he should be severely punished.

Boy, the average male office worker in America would get life imprisonment....

Meanwhile, in America, a stereotypical Jew on Royal Pains repeatedly uses the word fornicate, probably breaking new ground and making TV history

Fleshlight sales are booming in Saudi. And good vibrations have become a necessity for Saudi women.

Someone has become a millionaire over nite.

Losing the broadcast license was worth it.
