My 2sense worth

Another day in my life and fears are setting in. All our sensual orifices have been blocked except one! I’m talking about the ones on my head, behave. The eyes are not allowed to visit certain web sites; the mouth will not be allowed to taste alcohol soon. The smell from Tubli Bay will be fixed so they say. But what about our EARS with Radio Bahrain FM? This is such a crock of amateur goo and over the last 10 or so years has constantly degraded itself to a very large ZERO. They seem to be catering for the lowest IQ, the youngest listener and the most creatively stifled audience. I reckon their listenership numbers about 10 dudes of the same numerical age.
The advertising is atrocious and the government seems to be financing this. This blog is not long enough to list the constant stream of badly produced, amateur delivered, crap dialogue that goes out. I don’t know where to begin but I could start by asking; have you heard the Tamkeen radio spot. What on earth is that all about? I don’t understand the purpose of this unit in the first place, but then I don’t understand the appalling advertising for it. The billboards suggest that someone has bought a ladder and if you are wearing a thobe or a dress, you ascend the ladder last so nobody can look up your giblets. Forget the radio, who did that? Where do they get these people from? Who are they addressing? What a dreadful noise and mess that is and why didn’t they get English speakers to read it? Maybe they did for the Arabic version, has anyone heard that? A mate called me up and said it sounds like a bunch of psychiatrics recently released all screaming in broken Arabic.
Someone help us please! Stop this decent into anarchy and lift the sophistication a bit. No wonder the rest of the world thinks we are 3rd in line.
