People Magazine’s annual announcement of who is the Sexiest Man Alive gets lots of press but seldom does much in the way of boosting said hottie’s Q score; their choice is always someone who is already known worldwide. Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, has figured out a better way to spread the word about a drool-worthy hunk. The Kingdom’s religious police’s actions earlier this month has resulted in Omar Borkan Al Gala’s gaining 400,000 new friends on his Facebook page over the last week. And his fame continues to grow.

Omar – a Dubai based fashion photographer, actor, poet and all around hottie – is one of three men who were deported from Saudi Arabia for being too hot. The trio were attending the Jenadrivah Heritage and Cultural Festival in Riyad as delegates from the United Arab Emirates when officers from the Saudi’s Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vices hauled the men away and then deported them from the country because they were too handsome and the Commission members feared female visitors would be unable to control themselves.

The word is that the real reason behind the deportation actions was in retaliation against the United Arab Emirates for including a female singer in the festivities who had not been pre-approved by the Kingdom’s Islamic police, though I suspect it really had more to do with concerns over the alienation of affections of the country’s camel population.

Meanwhile back home – or at least the home where many of our hearts are – Jabba The Butt has been busy posting breathless updates about the current and future status of the Mic My Bar in Sunee Plaza which was closed after a police raid in early March which resulted in the detention of 17 underage sex workers and a number of foreign patrons. Jabba – channelling the late LMTU with his official yet fact-less based rumors – has deemed it worthy to keep his band of merry men apprised of when the bar will open again via an almost two month old thread he has single-handedly been keeping alive, evidently so they can all stay clear of the place since he is on record for hating everything to do with child molestation, child sex trafficking, and the sexual abuse of minors.

Despite several posters’ attempts to explain why and how the farang caught ogling the little naked kids on stage during the raid would be in line for deportation and blacklisting – acts which another poster listed as a rumor he’d heard about those farang taken into custody – Jabba remains clueless, failing to recognize the offense they committed while railing against the injustice of helpless farang who sought out an establishment know for offering underage boys for sex being treated in such a manner.

If Jabba spent even half of the amount of time considering why patronizing a place known for trafficking in child prostitution might be a bad thing as he has on coming up with excuses for those caught up in the raid it might no longer be one of those things he just doesn’t get. But that is as likely to happen as Saudi Arabia’s Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vices realizing why deporting handsome men may have the exact opposite effect on their country’s population of women as what they intended. Some words to the wise for both is the old Arabian proverb: If the camel once gets his nose in the tent, his body will soon follow.
