No better illustration of how warped Saudi Land is

Found via Global Voices with helpful photos of retarded neo-Thobe wear, there are only perhaps a thousand things that illustrate the whackiness of the sand pit more than this highly amusing arty on the dangerous innovations of moving away from pure white Thobes. In looking at said designs, I can only be puzzled. One can pick up just about any of those (excepting the retarded I POD Thobe) in any Souq in Damascus, Amman, Fez, etc., and have been for the last... thousand years or so.

There is a reason why Aroubi is not a compliment.
