Al Shamshoon

The Simpsons have finally been introduced to the Arab world as Al Shamshoon. Omar Shamshoon no longer loves beer since it is forbidden in Islam, but he does have an obsession with soda. Evidently, some English-speaking Arabic bloggers who have seen the American version find the Arabic version completely stripped of the original's humor -- but I bet that the Arabic versions of the past 7 or 8 American seasons can only be funnier.
