Saudi teenagers, AKA: Logan 5.

I found this article -- and also found it funny -- on Babylon and Beyond.
"Saudi Arabia's religious police ordered the arrest of 57 young men last week for "flirting" with members of the opposite sex while hanging out at shopping malls.

The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, often called the Mutaween by locals, accused the young men of "wearing indecent clothes and playing loud music and dancing to it to attract girls' attention," according to the Saudi Gazette, an English-language daily published in the kingdom.

The young men's defenders said they were just trying to "have fun" without "imposing themselves" on women.
"
Ya know... I can taunt those young men, Saudi Arabia, and hell even the 'poor girls' they hit on all I want, and the sad realization is: I still don't know how to talk to women. Maybe the Saudis could teach me a thing or two.
