Some Pakistanis See Quake as God's Reprimand

Well, duh. How many channels do they get in Pakistan anyway? And how long do they have to wait for the cable guy to get there? Besides, in Pakistan, they're never sure whether or not some guy rolling cable is a tv man, or a terrorist. Or a little of both. I hear you can make a living working both jobs, out there.

The Muslim clerics are concerned that the 300 or so people who actually have cable (And they don't get top of the line sexy channels like we do here, back home. The real nice porn is on the internet as we all know) are being so corrupted that when they hear the call for evening prayers, that they'll have that naughty look on their faces, like they just saw "Debbie Does Islamabad" and forgot to clean up.

They won't stand for this long. Back in the 50's when this region first got regular tv, the clerics banned "Howdy Doody". How they knew what Buffalo Bob was doing with his hand, I can't say.

So, this repressive country, that is our ally in the war on terrorism because our government perves can't distinguish between good and bad will probably quash what little cable tv there is.

And so, they'll go back to sock puppets. Which ain't so bad, once you're into it.
