Don't know if you caught this story but check out how the U.A.E.'s neighboring country is NOT celebrating Valentine's Day today.
Saudi Arabia bans all things red ahead of Valentine's Day
Every year, officials with the conservative Muslim kingdom's Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice clamp down on shops a few days before February 14, instructing them to remove red roses, red wrapping paper, gift boxes and teddy bears. On the eve of the holiday, they raid stores and seize symbols of love."
Wow, right? The part that gets me is that they have a REAL Vice Squad! Just like in "Thank You for Smoking" but not for the same things.
Don't worry, a clampdown isn't the case here. Red roses, stuffed animals, cards and sediments of love are everywhere.
