capitalism
Reason #12,033,343,343,01 why capitalism sucks
After a global campaign was launched to boycott Dunkin’ Donuts for its bigotted removal of a commercial featuring one Rachael Ray wearing a scarf that looked a little too Arab (see: “Dunkin’ Zionuts“) the reaction from the UAE’s Dunkin’ Donuts regional offices is not surprising in the least. If they would have supported the boycott [...]
VIDEO: Thomas Friedman gets pied
Last week, capitalism’s favorite sweetheart joined the legendary ranks of Bill Gates, David Horowitz, and Ann Coulter’s left elbow. While delivering a keynote speech at Brown University on Earth Day of all days, the Greenwash Guerillas decided to lob a couple of pies at him. Thomas Friedman’s speech, according to the Rising Tide North America [...]
I’m disappointed
To all the Haters… OK… So I’m in the most interesting place the world, going to clubs, beaches, hotels, restaurants, sitting in LA-like traffic, going to malls that have full on decor that match the themes, (like Persia, China, Egypt, Tunis, etc.) Dubai…Wow. I’m disappointed with all the people that told me I would hate [...]
Keffiyah Kraze finds market niche in the lazy/scarf-tying challenged/pressed-for-time among us
I’m not about to pretend to know who this KISER person is, but I must commend his/her/its new line of sweater/kuffiyah combinations as a breathtaking example of the entrepreneurial spirit, this time into the niche(?) market of the lazy. Not since the invention of the remote control, ladies and gentlemen… The company’s next move, KABOBfest’s [...]
Nadeem, did AOL Time Warner hire your photoshop hand for some freelance work recently?
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but that Time Magazine’s December 17, 2007 cover looks like it could have been taken straight from of the KABOBarchives, has gotten me a little worried. Initially, I wondered if I should be so surprised. This was the same reputable publication who brought us O.J. Simpson’s [...]
The Spitfire-side Chats: The Low Down on the High Value of “Low” and “Good” Numbers in the UAE and other Persian Gulf States
“Yo son, what you sporting these days?”“Well, you know how I do; I got me some gators, 22s, and a single-digit license plate number-ya herrrrd!” That’s right, big pimpin’ in the Arab world has taken a life of it’s own. Because of the general level of wealth enjoyed by Khaleeji national community (and corrupt monarchy-sustained [...]

Forbes Magazine’s Middle East Billies
Remember Steve Forbes? The little wrinkly old guy with the zero social skills who ran for president by focusing his campaign on establishing the flat income tax but never made it past the Republican nomination? Twice? Yeah, that guy. The one who would have faded into oblivion had he not had the foresight to immortalize [...]
Kfest Exclusive: 2nd Bin Laden Tape Released
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlrd2jq5alA] But on a serious note – I hope that KABOBfest’s readers take time today (and every day really) to reflect upon the underline reasons why so much political, social, and economic violence exists in this world – and, most importantly, how you as an individual, and we as a community, can help change that.

In the Name of Security
The US government dishes out billions of dollars worth of missiles, tanks, combat aircraft, warships and other arms (read: death toys) to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, and other so-called ‘moderate’ Arab states. Reaction from Beck, Coulter, Pipes, et al.? Muslims with weapons! Oh my! Not to mention Israel — who aside from using them [...]
