It's amusing they feel the need to be so PC about it :lol:

Arabs amd muslims are well aware that people eat pork, drink beer and hang around in bars. Considering they haven't relocated the setting it seems a bit OTT to me. Speaking as a muslim myself, I'd just be embarrased that someone tried so hard not to hurt my sensibilities with a cartoon depicting someone elses way of life :-D
