The Information Minister here in Kuwait, Mohammed Abul-Hassan, resigned this past week, for a number of reasons. Some say that it was linked to the Information Ministry's allowing some concerts by the Lebanese-based Star Academy.
So tonight, I'm playing with our Orbit satellite network, and managed to pull in another 100 channels or so, of mostly arabic TV. I managed to pull in the Star Academy channel. They were doing some arabic-english version of "Fame". It hurt, but I had to watch it.
