Eisaac Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I couldn't believe it when I heard it on the news! The Simpsons are converted to Islam and Arabic! The Arabic I don't mind, the Simpsons are probably translated and dubbed to many languages, but some of the (islamic) features are outrageous! Will Homer become Omar? Will beer become soda? Will bacon be cancelled? And... will "The Simpsons" Become "The Shamshoons"? Oh, "Omar" works in a dangerous nuclear factory, that is ok by Islam... This REALLY freaks out! Here are some links: (read at your own risk!) http://egyptiansandmonkey.blogspot.com/200...c-simpsons.html http://www.albawaba.com/en/entertainment/189350 http://www.subzeroblue.com/archives/2005/0...ns_in_arab.html I have to go and cry somewhere...

Eisaac Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 i wonder if the japanese think the same of english versions of anime 0_o <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Probably upset as any television/video/radio/other producer (and all others from the native country of the program) hearing a starnge voice and language from their characters.... But, there is a bit BUT... When dubbed (notoriously dubbing all programs: Germany, France, Russia), the language changes. Sometimes, names change so it would be easier for the destined audience (let's accept for a brief moment, one half nanosecond, that Homer can be Omar... sorry for that, did you survive? ) (and here it comes) BUT If you take out the ham, the beer and 'a few' things that are outlawed by religion (in this case, Islam) or for any other brainwashing reason , you are sucking the marrow out of the bones of the program! if is left a few colored figures dancing on the screen. THAT'S WHAT I THINK IS SAD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
