Oh dear: Saudis fear there will be \u2018no more virgins\u2019 and people will turn gay if female drive ban is lifted <\/a>(Daily Mail)<\/p>\n

But hey, look on the bright side: if there aren’t any more virgins in this life, all the more reason to look forward to paradise! Martyrdom, ho!<\/p>\n

In all seriousness, I\u00a0continue to be amazed and embarassed that we are such strong allies with this misogynistic, terror-fueling country… can someone please find a good\u00a0alternative energy source to oil already?<\/p>\n
