--

News outlets reported last night that there's a new crisis developing in the Middle East. Widespread protests and violence has quickly erupted among the populous after Dubai Television was refused permission to broadcast "The Flintstones."

A government spokesman later released a formal comment, stating, "The people in Dubai simply would not understand the western humor. But we are allowing the show to air in other cities where we feel it will be better received by the people, such as those in Abu Dhabi Do."
