I remember Jimmy was saying how he'd like to do a comedy gig in Dubai. Well, he'd better brush-up on the shari'ah laws if he ever does or he could wind up in jail for everyday stuff over here. Holy shit!

Was surfing around reddit.tv documentaries and after one was done you get the youtube thumbnails to other ones. Then watched this Piers Morgan one about Dubai from oh 2010 i think it was. Its mainly about the buildings and british expats. You get an idea that its nice with the buildings, but ya gotta watch your ass over there. He only talks about the laws a bit so i went and looked them up. The swearing one i'd have a fucking hard time with.. haha.. oph, ya better just stay away from there too.. hahaha. And ant wouldn't be too pleased about the no public photos allowed. He'd probably say fuck it and try taking some anyways and wind up in a tad more trouble than he did with that other stunt. They'd probably cut his hand and dick off. lol.


Here's a list of what not to do in Dubai:
