Until Saudi Arabia can come up with a cure for teh deadly cootiez, this is the only way their society can function. The West is so ignorant when it comes to other culture’s problems.

We need to get some second-graders over there stat, to administer the 100% effective, no-side-effects, “Circle, circle, dot, dot” anti-cooties vaccine.
